feat: FreeBSD and OpenBSD drivers, read side
FreeBSDDriver (`freebsd`) and OpenBSDDriver (`openbsd`) on a shared
BsdDriver, for the BSD VMs netOrk provisions and BSD hosts added by hand
(NetOrk/netork#798).

- SSH over exec channels (napalm-device-types' run_on_transport): no PTY,
  stdout and stderr apart, real exit codes; run_command()/open_stream()
  are public. Root through `sudo -S` with the password on stdin, or
  `sudo -n` without one.
- Facts: hostname, release and running kernel (freebsd-version / uname),
  hardware from SMBIOS (kenv) or hw.* sysctls, uptime from kern.boottime.
- Interfaces and addresses (ifconfig -a: ether/lladdr, hex netmasks,
  scoped IPv6), routes (netstat -rn, OpenBSD's abbreviated networks
  written out, host/broadcast/loopback entries left out), ARP (FreeBSD's
  sentences, OpenBSD's table), users and groups, processes (lstart read as
  one five-word field), cron jobs (system crontab and the login user's).
- Parsers are pure functions, tested on output recorded from FreeBSD 15.1
  (hand-installed and cloud image) and OpenBSD 7.9 (NetOrk/netork#793),
  with internal addresses replaced by documentation ranges.

# napalm-bsd
NAPALM drivers for **FreeBSD** (`freebsd`) and **OpenBSD** (`openbsd`) hosts,
over SSH, built on [napalm-device-types](https://git.netork.io/NAPALM/napalm-device-types)'
`OSDriver`. Written for netOrk, which provisions and manages BSD VMs
(NetOrk/netork#792).
## Design
- One shared `BsdDriver` (`napalm_bsd/base.py`) holds the SSH layer and every
reader whose tools agree between the BSDs. `FreeBSDDriver` and
`OpenBSDDriver` name only the commands that differ (hostname, release,
kernel, hardware, `netstat -rnW` vs `-rn`).
- Every command runs on its own SSH **exec channel** (`run_on_transport` from
napalm-device-types): no PTY to parse a prompt from, stdout and stderr apart,
a real exit status. `run_command()` / `open_stream()` are public
(`CommandChannelMixin`).
- Root comes from `sudo -S` with the sudo password on stdin (never on a command
line), or `sudo -n` without one, as in napalm-linux. netOrk provisions `sudo`
on BSD VMs for that reason; `doas` cannot read a password from stdin.
- Parsing is in `napalm_bsd/parse.py`, pure functions tested on output recorded
from real systems (`tests/fixtures/`, each directory's `COMMANDS.txt` lists
what produced it).
