ci(freebsd): add a dispatch-only, informational FreeBSD build workflow

+# FreeBSD build, INFORMATIONAL ONLY. Builds the headless binary (the C core,
+# no embedded UI) inside a FreeBSD VM with the canonical scripts/build.sh,
+# then checks that the binary starts (--version). The UI build is not run here:
+# its npm dependency tree pulls in onnxruntime-node, which publishes no FreeBSD
+# build, so `npm ci` stops with EBADPLATFORM. The UI bundle itself is
+# platform-independent JavaScript and is built on every other leg.
+#
+# NON-GATING: workflow_dispatch only. This workflow is not part of the ci-ok
+# aggregate and is not called by release.yml or dry-run.yml, so a FreeBSD red
+# never blocks a pull request or a release. Nothing from it is uploaded or
+# published, and it runs with read-only permissions.
