Add back text removed in r49599

The virtualbox chapter lost some information in section "21.6.2. VirtualBox™
USB Support".

It tells user to put themselves in the "operator" group, but that's not enough
since by default USB devices are set with 0600 permission:

> ll /dev/usb/
total 0
crw-------  1 root  operator  0x2b Jan  5 10:48 0.1.0
crw-------  1 root  operator  0x36 Jan  5 10:48 0.1.1


For this to work they also need to set a specific devfs rule.

For context the handbook actually had the correct information up to r49599,
when the whole part was removed. When the chapter was added back again in
r50613 only the pw part was added back and not the devfs.rules one, but it's
still needed to get a working setup.

Attached patch adds back text from before r49599.
