[Linux] Support to test installing open-vm-tools from source on FreeBSD

[keirazhang]

Installing open-vm-tools from source works well on FreeBSD 13.x. But on FreeBSD 14.x, it has 2 compiling errors about vmmemctl and vmblock.

FreeBSD 14 has provided two patches files against vmmemctl and vmblock compiling error, but not upstream them yet.

/usr/ports/emulators/open-vm-tools/files/patch-modules_freebsd_vmmemctl_os.c
/usr/ports/emulators/open-vm-tools/files/patch-modules_freebsd_vmblock_vfsops.c

We already have an internal PR to track upstreaming FreeBSD patches. To ensure our tests go smoothly, our test case will firstly patch the two files before building open-vm-tools source on FreeBSD 14. After the two patch files are upstreamed, we can then remove the patch from our test case.

FreeBSD 13.3 and 14.1 tests passed:
