Add support for SpawnNewInstance using linux compat on FreeBSD
This fixes opening a new instance in the shell's current working directory. The code currently assumes that there is a Linux compatible procfs mounted on /proc which is not the case on FreeBSD. However linprocfs(5) is often mounted on /compat/linux/proc so we can use that here for the time being. A proper solution would look up the kern.proc.cwd.<pid> sysctl instead, but that is not currently easily doable due to missing KERN_PROC_CWD and struct kinfo_file definitions in the libc crate.
