Add info about setting the correct event mask for oldskool users

In https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=360637 the default
kern.evdev.rcpt_mask was changed to 12.

This breaks setups of users relying on moused (e.g., serial mice).

The attached patch adds instructions for those users (as finding any advice
googling yielded no results).

Note that the slightly different wording to the paragraph above (following =>
this) was done intentionally, so the readers eye won't get caught in exactly
the same pattern.

(p.s. pkg-message still recommends setting this to 6, while the kernel now uses
a default of 12 - maybe this should be aligned at some point).
