Summary:                    Syscheck option -V doesn't honor alternative config
given via --config
Description: 
Just wanted to test an alternative config via -V, but noticed that -V
doesn't honor an alternative config as the alternative configuration is
only parsed after the syscheck done in pkgutilver().

  pkgutilver(1) if $opt_syscheck;
  ...
  init($opt_config) if $opt_config;

To reproduce simply create an alternative config with an altered
configuration value and try to display it via --config and -V.

As a workaround I have resorted to use the debug mode (-D) with the
almost-noop -U for now.
