Description
Add BSD support to libusb-package. I'd like to make sure that libusb-package can install and work successfully from the source distribution on BSD systems, since prebuilt wheels for BSD are highly unlikely.
@cederom I don't have a BSD environment to test with. Could you help here?
One question is: what does platform.system() return for BSD, and what is the file extension for shared libraries? This will allow an entry to be added to the library extension mapping dict:

Research direction
Start in src/libusb_package/init.py at the library extension mapping around lines 40-45. Determine what platform.system() returns on BSD and the shared-library extension, then verify that the source distribution installs and works on a BSD system. Done means BSD is supported without relying on prebuilt wheels.
