Description

Today pfSense rely only on pkg to detect what must or not be upgraded. Sometimes a package is rebuilt using the same version when a new pfSense version comes and it's not reinstalled during release upgrade and ended up being different from what is present on a fresh install.

In order to improve this situation and make sure all packages are the same if we upgrade or do a fresh install, implement a mechanism that forces all packages reinstallation when the value of /etc/version changes.

This way full reinstall will never happen while using a -DEVELOPMENT snapshot but will for sure happen when it moves to -ALPHA, -BETA, -RC or -RELEASE. Also will happen when upgrading from X.Y-RELEASE to W.Z-RELEASE.

I found a bug on current implementation because control file is installed by pfSense-upgrade and it is not rebuilt when we change version

There were some reports of crash logs showing up after upgrade and also PHP complaining about libpfctl missing during upgrade. Those errors were caused by this change and I'm finishing test a fix
