[ZIG] DragonFly(?) Support

TBD, since Zig currently doesn’t provide libc for them.

I don't think OpenBSD is worth supporting. Unlike the majority of OSes out there, OpenBSD releases don't maintain backward compatibility with older versions.

A binary built for today's OpenBSD release will break as soon as the next release comes out. Statically linking the libc won't help either; they also don't maintain backward compatibility on the kernel side. The binary would break as soon as they change the layout of some system call.

You could theoretically stick to supporting a specific OpenBSD version, but there are two drawbacks:

1# The OpenBSD team doesn't offer extended security support for older releases, so most of the time you'd be supporting an obsolete and potentially insecure OS.

2# OpenBSD people are paranoid about security; I don't think anyone using this OS would continue using an outdated version just to keep using a specific piece of software built for it.

I see... but what about DragonFly BSD?

Regarding backward compatibility, all the other BSDs are fine, including DragonFly.
