2.84.0_beta1 release

- Allow blacklisting of individual packages without collateral
  damage (e.g. glibc ---> glibc-*). This changes the prior behavior
  of the blacklist function; previously, adding "glibc" to the
  blacklist would cause glibc, glibc-profile, glibc-zoneinfo, et al
  to be ignored by slackpkg. The new behavior is that *only* the
  glibc package is ignored. If you want to blacklist all packages
  whose names begin with glibc, you would need to add "glibc.*" to
  the blacklist now.  Also note that any special characters, e.g. "+",
  will need to be escaped in the blacklist file. (David Woodfall)
- Add support for listing .new files without PAGER (David Woodfall)
- Remove switch.ch mirrors
- Add config option to allow *not* saving .orig configs (Darren Austin)
- Mention possible stale mirror if CHECKSUMS.md5 gpg verify fails
- Clarify that a press of "Enter" is needed to confirm kernel change
  (Mario Preksavec)
- doinst.sh Don't remove ChangeLog.txt upon upgrade/reinstall.
  (Patrick Volkerding)
- mirrors-x86*.sample: Remove bjtu.edu.cn mirror
- Fix for /var/log/packages/ possibly being a symlink to elsewhere
- Use CHECKSUMS.md5.asc to determine ChangeLog newness
  (Patrick Volkerding)
