Correct the pfSense firmware-upgrade statement in the packaging docs

Browse Source 
packaging/README.md and the pfSense builder's header said a firmware
upgrade removes the package, and the fips-dns-setup comment said the
same of everything under /usr/local. pfSense-upgrade reinstalls only
pfSense-pkg-* packages, and a live Plus 26.03.1 to 26.07 upgrade kept
this one, as the pfSense README, the post-install banner and pkg-descr
already say. A major base change still calls for the package built for
the new base.
