Adding github actions for NetBSD/OpenBSD and maybe other OSes

• 1.0.27 fails to build on Solaris/illumos #1465

Looking at libusb's CI... it seems it doesn't include some of the OSes that libusb supports... Why is that?

Indeed it will be good to have some test coverage for other OSes libusb supported if possible.

HIDAPI project looked at adding BSD CIs and we found that the github actions are too slow.

• Consider 3rdparty Github Actions for *bsd builds hidapi#477
• dispatch.sr.ht scheduled shutdown (Linux/BSD CI) hidapi#462

In the end, SourceHut is still used.

That being said, @tormodvolden is right that we still need people who are interested in those OSes (eg: OpenBSD, NetBSD, Haiku, Solaris/illumos, etc) in the mailing list or github discussions. In fact we would also need FreeBSD people (after the passing of Hans Peter Selasky) as well to sync up FreeBSD's own libusb implementation with mainline libusb.

It also shows that we could need some Solaris/illumos user to sign up to the mailing list (or follow the repo) and at least do a compile check when we announce release candidates...

Based on: https://github.com/vmactions/openbsd-vm/actions/runs/7866389477/job/21460597951
Maybe it worth reconsider Github Actions as a BSD CI. Haven't tried it, but if I read it right - it takes 2min30sec to prepare the VM. I'd say that's more than acceptable overhead.

@ptribble mentioned that there are a github action for Solaris and OmniOS.

Looking at vmactions, they have Solaris and OmniOS as well
