Add config option to allow *not* saving .orig configs
When admins choose to allow slackpkg new-config to overwrite currently installed config files with the .new counterparts from an upgraded package, slackpkg has traditionally created backups of the config files first, with the backups being written out with .orig extensions. This commit does not change the default behavior, but it does allow it to be turned off. TLDR: set "ORIG_BACKUPS" to "off" in /etc/slackpkg/slackpkg.conf if you do not wish to have .orig files left over Signed-off-by: Robby Workman <rworkman@slackware.com>
