Bug 204479: ports-mgmt/pkg use -C config file pathname exactly as given on the
command line

patch

Right now, 'pkg -C /some/file -r /some/path' ends up looking for the config
file as /some/path/some/file.  Per discussion with Baptiste, this is a bug and
it should use the exact value given on the command line.

The attached patch fixes it to use the exact name from the command line if
given, or to look for the default filename within the rootdir given on the
command line (if any) which is the historical behavior.
