rG66e7f048f0c8: moused(8): Start moused with devd

Summary

It is appeared that some people use non-default configurations
incompatible with new moused.
Moreover it does not have bug-for-bug compatibiliy like ignoring of
moused_enable in rc.conf.
For now revert to sysmouse mode to follow POLA and give time to things
to settle.

New features can be enabled again manually with setting of:
moused_port="auto"
moused_nondefault_enable="NO"
variables in /etc/rc.conf

Yes, it looks like moused_nondefault_enable="YES" is necessary for devd(8) driven autoplug of USB mice to work in absence of evdev(4). With this line in rc.conf all works as before for me.
