RFE: Do not display revision 0 in composite version

Description

At many places port uses the composite version format to display version information. This consists of the version string as given in the Portfile and an additional underscore with the revision. As the default revision is 0, there is no need to display it.

So @1.2_0 would become @1.2 instead. This would increase the readability of port's output as most ports never increase the revision.

If specified in input as for port uninstall foo @1.2 it should be assumed to be revision 0 only if unambiguous.

This never happened and we actually went into another direction with always including the revision 0 option in Portfiles. I think the canonical version format always including the revision 0 works just fine for us at the moment. There is not actually a need to change it.
