[req]: Add FreeBSD-x64 releases about jackett HOT 4 OPEN

Happy to leave this open as a 'maybe one day' request, but given the requirements above, it wouldn't be possible at the moment.

Hello, thanks for bringing this up.

While this was on my mind while working on the bump to .NET 8.0, we have to keep in mind there's no official support from MS regarding a runtime for freebsd-x64, meaning:

• we would need to build them ourselves and maintain a Nuget public feed exactly like Servarr does.
• pinning the dotnet version to a patch version and bumping this with every new release.
• if we would want to run tests on the FreeBSD build, there's a need for a new VM for Azure pipelines which I have no experience with nor an account.
• also the version in the ports is still 8.0.0 which was very buggy for me while building other apps on mac/linux.

I had no idea about the requirements. It just builds working Jackett releases on my FBSD 14.1 machine with no extras involved.
All I had to do was modify the dotnet publish command: -r linux-64 -> -r freebsd-x64

For now I'll stick with the mono builds, which work fine with the Mono 6.8 port on FreeBSD for the public. I myself am running dotnet builds with a modified port ;)

Hopefully building fbsd native will become possible in the (near) future on your end.

Yes, but you're already on freebsd and most likely you're using dotnet-sdk 8.0.0. If you will attempt a cross-platform build with 8.0.6 on linux/windows/mac for freebsd you'll see the issue.
