Add support for targeting FreeBSD

The Swift SDK Generator project should be able to generate SDKs that target FreeBSD systems.

FreeBSD is much simpler than Linux. We only require the user to provide their desired architecture and FreeBSD version. This script will then download the FreeBSD base system content and create a sysroot suitable for use with Swift Package Manager.

Because there are not currently any Swift toolchains for FreeBSD available on swift.org, we require the user to provide a path to a pre-built toolchain if they want the SDK to support building Swift code. In the future, we can download the Swift toolchain like we do for Linux in lieu of requiring the user to provide it.

 ## Supported platforms and minimum versions
 
-macOS as a host platform and Linux as both host and target platforms are supported by the generator.
+FreeBSD and Linux are supported as both host and target platforms. macOS is only supported as a host platform.
 The generator also allows cross-compiling between any Linux distributions officially supported by the Swift project.
