Description
To execute native Linux ELF guest binaries, the host platform has to emulate Linux's vDSO syscall family.
In this PR, I added `vDSO` support on WindowsUserland:
https://github.com/microsoft/litebox/pull/272#issue-3339110733
Similar implementation has to be added to FreeBSD.

Start by reviewing the WindowsUserland vDSO implementation in pull request #272, then locate the corresponding FreeBSDUserland guest-binary support. Confirm the implementation handles the Linux vDSO syscall family needed by native Linux ELF guests and verify that those binaries execute successfully on FreeBSD.
