fix: raise when an update reader cannot read, and report host status
netOrk reads an empty update list as "no updates" and closes every patch
clock on the host. A refused sudo, a failing pkg, syspatch or freebsd-update,
or a pkg database pkg cannot read used to come back as that empty list. Each
of these now raises. Only pkg's "is not installed" still means no packages.

BsdDriver takes on napalm-device-types' HostStatusMixin. On FreeBSD it
reports a host whose installed kernel differs from the running one as
needing a reboot (device-types 4.1). OpenBSD stays unknown.

# 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).

`get_listening_sockets` has the shape of napalm-device-types'
`ListeningSocketsMixin` (whose `ss`/cgroup reading is Linux's) and its rule:
read as root first, without root when that brings nothing back
(`attributed: False`). FreeBSD's `sockstat` sees every socket either way;
OpenBSD's `fstat` shows a user only their own processes, so without root the
sockets come from `netstat -an`, unnamed.
There is deliberately no `get_kernel_facts`: `KernelFactsMixin` reports a
Linux kernel's modules and `CONFIG_*` options, which a BSD kernel does not
have, and `hasattr(driver, "get_kernel_facts")` has to stay truthful.
**Updates.** `security` on FreeBSD comes from VuXML (`pkg audit`): True for a
package it lists as vulnerable, False for one it does not, None when the audit
could not run. OpenBSD's tools do not say, so it is None there. Base-system
patches are one entry, `base-system` (NetOrk/netork#799): OpenBSD's
`syspatch` applies its patches together and in order; a classic FreeBSD base
reports what `freebsd-update` has fetched (`updatesready`). On FreeBSD with
pkgbase the base system is packages from the `FreeBSD-base` repository and
needs no extra entry.
A reader that cannot read **raises** rather than return an empty list: netOrk
takes `[]` as "no updates" and would close every patch clock on the host. That
covers a refused sudo, a failing `pkg`, `syspatch` or `freebsd-update`, and a pkg
database pkg cannot read (only pkg's "not installed" means no packages).
**Reboot.** `get_host_status` reports a FreeBSD host whose installed kernel
(`freebsd-version -k`) differs from the running one (`-r`) as needing a reboot.
OpenBSD has no such reading yet, so it stays unknown there.
**Services** are the enabled ones. FreeBSD reads their status as root, as
root-only pidfiles hide a daemon from anyone else, and without root when sudo
refuses; OpenBSD's `rcctl check` needs no root. Actions run as root.
**SNMP** is net-snmp from packages (NetOrk/netork#800), configured as netOrk does
on Linux (v2c, community `public`, every address), so the agent answers
UCD-SNMP-MIB for netOrk's health metrics. Memory, swap and load are right on
both systems. CPU: FreeBSD reports `ssCpuIdle` about a minute after the
agent starts; on OpenBSD net-snmp's CPU figures are wrong (0 % idle on an idle
machine, also in `hrProcessorLoad`).
## Connection arguments
`optional_args`: `port` (22), `key_file`, `sudo_password`, `allow_agent`,
`look_for_keys` (both off by default).
