Update bthidd(8) code and hook it up to the build.
bthidd(8) now was integrated with vkbd(4) and supports multiple keyboards via vkbd(4)/kbdmux(4). The code was tested with Apple Bluetooth keyboard and SE k700i cell phone (remote control feature). MFC after: 1 month

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm bthidd
+.Nd Bluetooth HID daemon
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Fl h
+.Nm
+.Op Fl a Ar BD_ADDR
+.Op Fl c Ar file
+.Op Fl H Ar file
+.Op Fl p Ar file
+.Op Fl t Ar val
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+daemon handles remote Bluetooth HID devices.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl a Ar BD_ADDR
+Specify the local address to listen on.
+By default, server will listen on
+.Dv ANY
+address.
+The address can be specified as BD_ADDR or name.
+If name was specified then the
+.Nm
+daemon will attempt to resolve the name via
+.Xr bt_gethostbyname 3 .
+.It Fl c Ar file
+Specify path to the configuration file.
+The default path is
+.Pa /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf .
+.It Fl d
+Do not detach from the controlling terminal, i.e., run in foreground.
+.It Fl H Ar file
+Specify path to the known HIDs file.
+The default path is
+.Pa /var/db/bthidd.hids .
+.It Fl h
+Display usage message and exit.
+.It Fl p Ar file
+Specify path to the PID file.
+The default path is
+.Pa /var/run/bthidd.pid .
+.It Fl t Ar val
+Specify client rescan interval in seconds.
+The
+.Nm
+daemon will periodically scan for newly configured Bluetooth HID devices or
+disconnected
+.Dq passive
+Bluetooth HID devices and will attempt to establish outgoing connection.
+Default rescan interval is 10 seconds.
+.El
+.Sh CAVEAT
+Any Bluetooth HID device that has
+.Dv HUP_KEYBOARD
+or
+.Dv HUP_CONSUMER
+entries in its descriptor is considered as
+.Dq keyboard .
+For each
+.Dq keyboard
+Bluetooth HID device,
+the
+.Nm
+daemon will use separate instance of
+.Xr vkbd 4
+virtual keyboard.
+Therefore
+.Xr kbdmux 4
+driver must be used to properly multiplex input from multiple keyboards.
+.Sh KNOWN LIMITATIONS
+The
+.Nm
+daemon currently does not handle key auto repeat and double click mouse events.
+Those events work under
+.Xr X 7
+just fine,
+but not in text console.
+.Pp
+This man page needs more work.
+Also need a man page documenting format of the
+.Pa /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf
+configuraion file.
