This adds basic FreeBSD support. Basic, because it works for my few cases. There are two major differences from how things works for Linux and rest platforms: The first is that there is no custom suffix for produced `.so` files and `imp.get_suffixes()` confirms that. The second is more complicated. There is no universal platform tag which covers some OS release. In fact, it includes information about: - OS version (11_2, 12_0), - release type (RELEASE, STABLE) - and patch set (p1, p7, etc). While first two are pretty well known and could be simply hardcoded to maintain support for a many years, patch set is very generic and changes once any security or system fixes get issued for specific release. From point of FreeBSD it's the same system with the same compatibility guarantees. From point of Python it's a completely different platform which is not compatible with the others patches for the same OS version and release. That means that wheels need to be rebuild (or just renamed) if system receives any patch set update.
