Title: v4l2 input on freebsd by default

On FreeBSD there's multimedia/webcamd port that provides a bunch of linux kernel drivers in userland. Many of them are for webcams and some don't support pixel formats that mpv understands e.g., V4L2_PIX_FMT_JPEG-only cams.

webcamd also supports a few PVR and Radio drivers.
