tun-device: Use next free TUN device on FreeBSD

While this API is documented as legacy (and there is a sysctl option to
disable it) the documentation also mentions that it will probably stay
enabled by default due to compatibility issues with existing applications.

With the previous approach only 255 devices could be opened then the
daemon had to be restarted.

Fixes #2313.
