Building Zed for FreeBSD

Note, FreeBSD is not currently a supported platform, and so this is a work-in-progress.

Repository

Clone the Zed repository.

Dependencies

Install the necessary system packages and rustup:
```
script/freebsd
```
If preferred, you can inspect script/freebsd and perform the steps manually.

⚠️ WebRTC Notice

Currently, building webrtc-sys on FreeBSD fails due to missing upstream support and unavailable prebuilt binaries. This is actively being worked on.

More progress and discussion can be found in Zed’s GitHub Discussions.

Environment: FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)
