Description

Describe the enhancement
Support building the runner on FreeBSD

Additional information
I think FreeBSD has all the libraries that the runner needs. And while the dotnet-sdk isn't availble from Microsoft, there is already a package for it: lang/linux-dotnet-sdk . So it should be possible to build the runner on FreeBSD.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping the runner's build prerequisites and checking them against FreeBSD and the lang/linux-dotnet-sdk package; done means the runner builds successfully on FreeBSD with its required dependencies.
