diff of pkg.conf

One of the 'pkg alias' aliases in the default pkg.conf is 'roptions'.  It's like 'options' except for that it uses 'rquery' instead of 'query' to allow a user to find the options of a remote package not installed on the system.
Three more aliases: all-depends, comment, and desc can be treated similarly, and this diff adds rall-depends, rcomment, and rdesc to pkg.conf's alias list.  This is extremely useful when choosing packages to install.
This diff was done on 11.1-RELEASE-p10.
