Bug #2651: pkg image format update shafts /var/pkg

Dan upgraded to 151a3, and it broke the illumos build.

It turns out that what _really_ broke was pkg in general.  As part of the image format upgrade, when he got the new version of pkg it made the permissions of /var/pkg 0700, preventing non-root users from doing anything at all to do with pkg.

That's, obviously, really rather bad.

I _think_ this bug may have existed and been fixedu pstream, so a patch for it should be relatively easy to find.
