[Bug 284054] ports-mgmt/pkg: Does not recognize .pkg as a valid suffix (triggered by portupgrade)

True. But other than making pkg complain, portupgrade still works and is
documented in the Handbook. Someone could certainly float a proposal to remove
it from the Handbook for FreeBSD 15 and set the portupgrade port's Makefile to
reject FreeBSD versions of 15.0 or higher, but FreeBSD 14 will be supported for
nearly another 4 years (EoL November 30, 2028) so we should probably do
something in the meantime.

I didn't actually check to see which of portupgrade or pkg was more frequently
updated, but since the answer is pkg (which is what I opened this bug against),
wouldn't it make sense to have pkg silently accept ".pkg" as a suffix (and
convert it to its default .txz format)?
