Consider supporting bsdstats.org in the Hardware Probe tool #19

Unlike https://bsd-hardware.info/?d=helloSystem which is about details of hardware components, https://bsdstats.org/ seems to be about ongoing measurement of BSD variant popularity. It requires a cron job to be installed and enabled. We could add a checkbox to this effect in the Hardware Probe tool...

Looks reasonable.

https://bsd-hardware.info counts mostly new BSD users.

https://bsdstats.org is good, maintained (recently updated to https) and reliable project with a long history since 2006. You'll need to ping maintainers to recognize helloSystem as a new BSD variant on the site otherwise it will be recognized as FreeBSD.
