Verbose output before/after for changed options

`pkg upgrade` detects changed options in a package and requires reinstallat=
ion,
but only shows minimal information about the reason:

    Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:
            mypackage-1.11 (options changed)

This patch prints before/after options and their values so the sysadmin can
clearly see why a package is reinstalled.

Why? Building production packages yourself with regular ports tree updates =
and
custom options can often lead to this case, and when doing live deployments,
you want to be sure that no critical options have been altered.

I wanted to combine this with {-v,--verbose}, but apparently `pkg upgrade
{-v,--vulnerable}` already exists, overriding the default expectation of 'v'
option meaning verbose.
