Assignee: Matteo Concas

## Summary
[Device hints](https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=device.hints&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+14.0-RELEASE&format=html) are a way for user to pass configuration options to device drivers.

Currently, we can only set device hints by redefining the `char static_hints[]` array. @chris suggested we could have libbsd read the `/boot/device.hints` file at initialization to populate the array instead. This would match the FreeBSD 14 documentation on device hints.
