add in daily smart.in possibility to work with areca controllers and autodetect nvme drives

1. There are no possibility to set drives on areca controllers in periodic.conf.
Command line look like: smartctl /dev/arcmsr0 -dareca,1 -a
With this patch you can set in periodic.conf:
daily_status_smart_devices="arcmsr0,1 arcmsr0,2 arcmsr0,3 arcmsr0,4 da0 da1"

# /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/smart

SMART status:
Checking health of /dev/arcmsr0 (-dareca,1): OK
Checking health of /dev/arcmsr0 (-dareca,2): OK
Checking health of /dev/arcmsr0 (-dareca,3): OK
Checking health of /dev/arcmsr0 (-dareca,4): OK
Checking health of /dev/da0: OK
Checking health of /dev/da1: OK


2. Auto-detect in /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/smart show nvd* devices:
# sysctl -n kern.disks | sed -E 's/[[:<:]](cd|ar)[0-9]+//g'
ada1 ada0 da1 da0 nvd1 nvd0
But smartctl want nvme*. Patch is hack, but it work:
# sysctl -n kern.disks | sed -E 's/[[:<:]](cd|ar)[0-9]+//g; s/nvd/nvme/g'
ada1 ada0 da1 da0 nvme1 nvme0

# /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/smart

SMART status:
Checking health of /dev/ada1: OK
Checking health of /dev/ada0: OK
Checking health of /dev/da1: OK
Checking health of /dev/da0: OK
Checking health of /dev/nvme1: OK
Checking health of /dev/nvme0: OK


3. I have a question:
if in /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf add option "-m email@domain -M test", then autostart of smartd during boot process is very long - trying end email, but mail daemon starts after smartd daemon.
I slove this issue: add word "mail" after "# REQUIRE: LOGIN" in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smartd.
Is it correct way to solve this issue?
If yes, then add, plz, it to sysutils/smartmontools/files/smartd.in (I can make diff file).
