Portmaster should use its own /var/db directory for distfiles information #46

I feel that "piggybacking" on /var/db/pkg is wrong for couple of reasons:

No other tools are making use of /var/db/pkg/$PKGNAME/distfiles information.
The distfiles information is ports build time information and shouldn't be mixed with package database or other package related metadata.

My suggestion is to change the distfiles directory to /var/db/portmaster/$PKGNAME.
