Description

pkg: Move FreeBSD-base to pkg.freebsd.org

Rather than fetching packages directly from the CDN which currently
backs pkgbase.freebsd.org, requests will go to pkg.freebsd.org mirrors
and be 302ed to the correct servers. This adds ~70 seconds to the
process of installing or upgrading a pkgbase system; it also orphans
systems with 15.0-{PRERELEASE,ALPHA*,BETA*} installed since they are
expecting to see pkgbase files signed with the pkg keys, not the new
pkgbase signing keys.
