databases/lmdb: add migration notice for 0.9.x -> 1.0.0 upgrade
LMDB 1.0 introduced an incompatible on-disk file format; v0.9 databases must be exported with mdb_dump and re-imported with mdb_load before use. Add a pkg-message (install always, upgrade only from <1.0.0) and an UPDATING entry documenting the required migration procedure. Suggested by: Kevin Bowling <kevin.bowling@kev009.com>

+ LMDB 1.0 introduced an incompatible on-disk file format change.
+ Versions 0.9.x and 1.0.x databases are mutually incompatible.
+
+ Before upgrading, export all existing databases using the old v0.9
+ mdb_dump utility, then import them with the new v1.0 mdb_load after
+ upgrading. There is no support for opening v0.9 database files
+ directly with LMDB 1.0.
+
+ Example migration procedure:
+ # mdb_dump -a /path/to/db > /tmp/mydb.dump
+ # pkg upgrade databases/lmdb
+ # mdb_load -f /tmp/mydb.dump /path/to/newdb
