sysctl parameter kern.video.record added to -current

Contributed by rueda on 2020-12-29 from the i-spy-with-my-little-----oh! dept.

With the following commit, Marcus Glocker (mglocker@) added an enhanced privacy control for video recording:

CVSROOT:	/cvs
Module name:	src
Changes by:	[email protected]	2020/12/28 11:28:11

Modified files:
	sys/dev        : video.c 
	sys/kern       : kern_sysctl.c 
	sys/sys        : sysctl.h 

Log message:
Analog to the the kern.audio.record sysctl parameter for audio(4)
devices, introduce kern.video.record for video(4) devices.  By default
kern.video.record will be set to zero, blanking all data delivered
by device drivers which attach to video(4).

The idea was initially proposed by
Laurence Tratt <laurie AT tratt DOT net>.

ok mpi@

This is analogous to kern.audio.record, which was first seen in OpenBSD 6.4.
