Summary

Also mark it as config file so if a user changes this file pkg will attempt
to merge the new file upon an update.
device.hints is neither related to runtime or loader but it make more sense
to have it in loader in case some user delete /boot/ and wants to recreate it,
now only two packages are required FreeBSD-bootloader and the kernel package.
While here change where we override the package for files installed in /boot,
this allow us to keep other tags (such as config).

not related to you, but it seems a bit odd that /boot/device.hints is installed by /etc/Makefile

Yes, everything about device.hints is annoying: both how it's installed and coming specifically from a GENERIC.hints
