hwdb: Make 3D mice work out-of-the-box

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3Dconnexion, 3D mice are:
human interface devices for manipulating and navigating
computer-generated 3D imagery. These devices are often referred to as
3D motion controllers, 3D navigation devices, 6DOF devices (six
degrees of freedom) or a 3D mouse.

Applications that want to support 3D mice on Linux are expected to
either use spacenavd and its library, or consume the HID output
directly.

This patch makes it possible for a number of applications that use 3D
mice directly to work out of the box, such as PrusaSlicer and its
derivatives.
