If upgrading from < 1.9.0:

net-p2p/go-ethereum: Update 1.12.2 => 1.16.8

The karalabe/hid vendored package was trying to include hidapi source
files that don't exist in the vendor directory. This patch modifies
the build to use FreeBSD's installed hidapi library instead.

Changes:
- Link against system libhidapi library.
- Use hidapi headers instead of including source.
- Add necessary C standard library headers for FreeBSD.
