[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60574] pkg update ignores -global / -local options

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #60574 (project octave):

v3 update 

I think this update satisfies this bug, bug #56128, and bug #60573.

on top of the changes in comment #2 and comment #3, this checks at the start
of pkg update whether -local or -global was called, and if so limits the scope
of the update to the installed local or global files. 

tested on stable (6.2.1 - May 14, 2021), as i'm not set up to compile and
there were enough changes on default to preclude m-file testing, but there
didn't seem to be any changes to relevant sections.  could use a check, though
to be sure.

testing by installing an out of date package in both local and global, then
running pkg update, pkg update -local, and pkg update -global (with various
other options and specifying pkg names), and all behaved as expected.  pkg
update -local just checked and updated local files to local, same with global.
a regular pkg update behaved as normal. 

also made a note to NEWS noting behavior change.
