How to build Temporal CLI for FreeBSD

[ymandge]

We are trying to build the Temporal Server, SDK, and other temporal components for FreeBSD. With the collaboration of the Temporal Server and SDK team, we have successfully built and executed it on FreeBSD. Now, to engage and experiment with the same sample POCs, we require a CLI on FreeBSD. Hence, we seek your assistance in building it and learning how to interact with the Temporal Server.

Note that Slack thread will go away after 90 days, so if there's anything pertinent you want to retain, can add it explicitly here in the issue. Will discuss with company whether we will officially support FreeBSD or if you'll have to build it yourself. Regardless, the install.sh method of installation is being deprecated in favor package managers coming up, and that installation method does not support FreeBSD.
