It's not a good idea to delete user edited config file: /etc/settings.conf

One of the nice things about our upgrade target is that it doesn't mangle user managed files;
let's keep it that way.

/etc/settings.conf could be renamed or just left alone for the user to handle;
please note that usr.bin/pkg_search also uses /etc/settings.conf;
maybe this should also be changed (pkg_search.1 could use note on this use).

I don't remember any discussion on this change; digging a bit I do see there has been some:
