I wonder if we have any flag for always-interactive ports i.e. ports
that prompt user for something regardless of all batch/interactivity
options. One example is java/jdk* ports that prompt user for license
acceptance.

If we don't have such a flag, maybe we should add one.

One use, for instance, is to skip such ports for portupgrade --batch.
