pkgbase is not compatible with freebsd-update. We need freebsd-update to detect when pkgbase is in use, and exit with an error.

PR: 282252 Reviewed by: bapt, markj (earlier) Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D47341 (cherry picked from commit cf1aba2857c1ec59c9a34d363cb18a61ffa34a10) freebsd-update: improve pkgbase check The previous version used a case-insensitive match (default for -x). The presence of packages like freebsd-git-devtools and freebsd-ftpd would falsely trigger the packaged base check. Instead, just use `pkg which /usr/bin/uname` as a packaged base indication. pkg uses /usr/bin/uname to determine ABI, so we can rely on it existing. If it comes from a package then packaged base is in use. Also, extend the check to all freebsd-update commands. It is easier to just disallow all commands, and easier to test.
