- Add IPC_OS_FREEBSD_ platform detection macro - Enable FreeBSD to use POSIX pthread implementation (shared with QNX) - Update all conditional compilation directives to include FreeBSD - Update README to reflect FreeBSD platform support FreeBSD uses the existing POSIX implementation which supports: - Process-shared mutexes (PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED) - Robust mutexes (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST) - Timed lock operations - POSIX shared memory This is a minimal change that reuses the mature POSIX implementation already proven by QNX platform support.

Summary
This PR adds FreeBSD platform support to cpp-ipc by reusing the existing POSIX pthread implementation.

FreeBSD uses the existing POSIX implementation (
