Add a sysctl entry for the evdev device number (devnum) to allow libudev-devd to

running in a jail with no input devices exposed through devfs.

Enables an improvement of libudev-devd (https://github.com/wulf7/libudev-devd/pull/15), itself necessary for a cleaner patch of libinput (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/merge_requests/1471) to let libinput work in a jail with no devfs but an available seat manager (e.g. seatd socket on nullfs) to get file descriptors from the host.
