Let config-conditional take options configured in make.conf into account.
The option dialog will not appear if all options have been configured before, either using the dialog or in make.conf. This means you can set options once for all ports in make.conf and not have dialogs pop up if those are the only options. Also let config-conditional run make config instead of do-config. Make config handles NO_DIALOG and pre-config. Discussed with: danfe Approved by: portmgr (bapt)

+
+ Configuring options in make.conf using variables like OPTIONS_SET and
+ OPTIONS_UNSET now also suppresses the option dialog for those options.
+ This means that when building a port the option dialog will only appear if
+ there are truly new options that have not been configured before using either
+ the dialog or make.conf. This allows you to set options like DOCS, NLS,
+ X11, etc. once for all ports and not have option dialogs pop up if those are
+ the only options. For a list of variables you can set in make.conf to
+ control options see Mk/bsd.options.mk.
