x11/libxkbcommon: swtch to legacy rules on 11
x11/libxkbcommon was switched to use evdev rules in r528813, but FreeBSD 11 still needs the legacy rules. Switch back to the legacy rules, but only on FreeBSD 11. Adjust the UPDATING entry to indicate that the switch to evdev rules by default is only on FreeBSD 12 and later, and that FreeBSD 11 still uses the legacy rules.

If you have trouble with the keyboard keys, and if /var/log/Xorg.*.log
shows that the "kbd" or "keyboard" driver is being used, you need to
switch to legacy rules by setting the environment variable
XKB_DEFAULT_RULES to xorg.
