pkg delete --no-recursive

[Ben Woods]

I have an existing bug report for correcting the pkg-delete man page:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194981

Whilst my patch doesn't change the wording of the -f, --force option, the
wording of that option makes more sense in the context of the man page once
it explains the default behavior is to delete packages that would be left
with unresolved dependencies.

Regards,
Ben
