Devyn Cairns 758c5d447a Add support for the ps command on FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD (#12892)
# Description

I feel like it's a little sad that BSDs get to enjoy almost everything
other than the `ps` command, and there are some tests that rely on this
command, so I figured it would be fun to patch that and make it work.

The different BSDs have diverged from each other somewhat, but generally
have a similar enough API for reading process information via
`sysctl()`, with some slightly different args.

This supports FreeBSD with the `freebsd` module, and NetBSD and OpenBSD
with the `netbsd` module. OpenBSD is a fork of NetBSD and the interface
has some minor differences but many things are the same.

I had wanted to try to support DragonFlyBSD too, but their Rust version
in the latest release is only 1.72.0, which is too old for me to want to
try to compile rustc up to 1.77.2... but I will revisit this whenever
they do update it. Dragonfly is a fork of FreeBSD, so it's likely to be
more or less the same - I just don't want to enable it without testing
it.

Fixes #6862 (partially, we probably won't be adding `zfs list`)

# User-Facing Changes
`ps` added for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.

# Tests + Formatting
The CI doesn't run tests for BSDs, so I'm not entirely sure if
everything was already passing before. (Frankly, it's unlikely.) But
nothing appears to be broken.

# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes?
- [ ] DragonflyBSD, whenever they do update Rust to something close
enough for me to try it

Nushell core libraries and plugins

These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.

Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:

  • Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
  • Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.

Plugins are likewise also split into two types:

  • Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
  • Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
