(Improved quoting for 'sed' command.)

It appears that packages updated after the pkg_install/pkgsrc changes for
the new PKG_DBDIR will receive new entries in "pkgdb.refcount" reflecting
the new PKG_DBDIR.  Entries for older versions/PKGREVISIONs or packages
not updated are left unchanged.

Running 'pkg_admin rebuild{,-tree}' seems not to have any effect on the
old pkgdb.refcount entries, but appears to be harmless.
