Replacement patch-config_devd.c with automatic vmmouse detection

Vmmouse detection has never worked with devd and hence, vmmouse has been mo=
re
or less useless since at least FreeBSD 10.3.

I've implemented a fix in the devd config backend. It's not super clean, but
given the version of the devd config backend that's upstream, I guess this =
will
do for now.

Please review for security since we're calling an external application
(vmmouse_detect) as root. The utility vmmouse_detect is part of the
xf86-input-vmmouse package / port.

Also if possible, please include in all maintained freebsd versions.
