Allow users to configure stuff in /dev once again by re-doing the devfs

script to read /etc/devfs.conf, and take appropriate actions based on
what it finds there.

The (commented out) examples in the new devfs.conf file are taken in
part from the old rc.devfs script.

+# These are examples of how to configure devices using /etc/rc.d/devfs.
+# The first parameter is always the action to take, the second is always the
+# existing device created by devfs, and the last is what you want to change.
+# The name of the action is only significant to the first unique character.
+#
+# Examples:
+
+# Historically X depended on this, but version 4.3.0 doesn't seem to anymore
+#link	ttyv0	vga
+
+# Commonly used by many ports
+#link	acd0	cdrom
+
+# Allow a user in the wheel group to query the smb0 device
+#perm	smb0	0660
+
+# Allow members of group operator to cat things to the speaker
+#own	speaker	root:operator
+#perm	speaker	0660
