feat(free-bsd): first-class support for FreeBSD

[surban]

Add support for FreeBSD and other BSDs.
Testing was only done using FreeBSD.

Fixes #49.

[surban]

The clippy failure seems to be unrelated to the performed changes.

[surban]

Anything I can do to help get this merged?

[EstebanBorai]

LGTM @surban! Thank you so much! I think I can help with clippy issues!

[EstebanBorai]

Hi @surban! Thanks for the support!
A release is already drafted here: https://crates.io/crates/network-interface/1.1.2

Please reach on any issues!

Thanks for sharing @cmspam!
What do you think @surban? Does it happens to you as well?

[surban]

Not on x86_64. I don't have easy access to FreeBSD on aarch64. Do you have working CI support for that platform for your other projects?

It might be enough to change as *const i8 into as *const _.

Gotcha! If the change works for you, and if you think that will fix the issue. Are you willing to open a PR?

Many thanks to all involved! I won't have a chance to test on arm64 for a little bit, but I will let you know when I can.
