Select EVDEV driver by default.

FreeBSD 12.1 and up have evdev[4] in GENERIC (and MINIMAL).
After compiling usual xorg stuff, I was astonished that neither mouse nor
keyboard worked as they used to do for a long time: startx(1) was sufficient to
get a minimalistic but working twm(1) session.
There are multiple ways to alter xorg config to use mouse and keyboard, but
since auto-detection was the supposed and working way to get started, I'd like
to propose including xf86-input-evdev by default in x11-drivers/xorg-drivers,
to make it working again with recent FreeBSD versions.
