x11/libxkbcommon: Switch to evdev rules by default
Switch x11/libxkbcommon to use evdev rules rather than legacy rules by
default, to improve support for keyboards when using evdev.
For users using the legacy configuration, or running xorg on FreeBSD 11,
please consult UPDATING for instructions in case of issues.

+
+ The libxkbcommon library (x11/libxkbcommon), used to handle keyboards
+ in some applications, most notably kde and wayland, have been switched
+ to use evdev rules by default. Some keys, most notably arrow keys,
+ may not work in applications using libxkbcommon, if you use
+ xf86-input-keyboard rather than xf86-input-libinput.
+ If you have trouble with the keyboard keys, and if /var/log/Xorg.*.log
+ shows that the "kbd" or "keyboard" driver is beind used, you need to
+ switch to legacy rules by setting the environment variable
+ XKB_DEFAULT_RULES to xorg.
+ This switch is make to match the default configuration on FreeBSD 12.1 and
+ later, the default configuration on FreeBSD 11.3 still requres the legacy
+ rules.
