Enable usbhid by default

[manu]

Summary

Use usbhid by default and not the old HID stack.
This should be a no functional changes for most users, just the
devices name will change.
If you use fido/u2f keys it's known to not work so you can disable this
by setting hw.usbhid.enable=0 in loader.conf
For users using old touchscreen (like some ELO ones) this avoid using webcamd
as hmt(4) will work fine on them.

LGTM.

But there are still 2 known regressions

1. Some FIDO/U2f keys does not works stable. See https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=265528 and https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=263995. I Did a fix D41639 but I still think that it can be improved.
2. USB mices will not work in VT as moused does not support evdev protocol. I made evdev-awared version of moused. It works (and supports touchpads) but it is not ready to replace our basesystem daemon yet. May be I need just create a port for beginning?

Thanks, I wasn't aware of those two issues, I'll have a look at those in the next few (working) days. For now I'll hold on on commiting this.

Why not add hkbd, rather than change ukbd to hkbd?

That makes sense. To not burn bridges for binary images for some time.

I'll try to boot this kernel with the sysctl to 0 to check if ukbd still works correctly (it should), if that's the case yes that's probably better, at least at the beginning.

It's the usual conservative approach. This will also let people file bug reports more easily.
