           Summary: deskutils/calibre: usbms relies on deleted HAL port

On FreeBSD, calibre relied on HAL for the mounting of ereaders that use USB
mass storage (usbms). HAL was deleted from the ports system back in February
2021, and it appears that it was never a formal requirement of the port
(probably relied on it being pulled in from the Desktop.)

I'm looking into replacing the HAL code with BSDisks/Udisks2, but I haven't
been a programmer in a long, long time. I thought I'd file a bug report to see
if someone with more current skills can help.

On an installed calibre the files in question are
/usr/local/lib/calibre/calibre/devices/usbms/device.py and hal.py in the same
directory.
