LIBC STABILIZES BSD CI, OPENS QNX AND WINDOWS PATHS

The Rust standard library bindings just fixed the flaky BSD test pipeline that's been eating CI cycles, while simultaneously adding support for three major platform expansions.

The libc team shipped a retry mechanism for BSD dependency installs [1], addressing the chronic network timeouts that plague NetBSD and other BSD VMs during CI runs. This is a low-friction fix that moves install logic to a shared script, letting all BSD targets benefit from automatic retries on pkg_add failures. In parallel, three platform expansions landed: QNX SDP 8 support [2] rewires the target definitions from the deprecated nto nomenclature to the new qnx identifiers while fixing pthread mutex initialization, illumos gained tier-2 CI coverage [4] via omnios LTS with a seven-year support window, and Windows GNU x86 developers can now opt into 64-bit time_t via a cfg flag [3] to experiment with fixes before they land on stable. The crates.io index saw routine updates across datapress-datafusion, mkutils, and related packages [5] [6] [7], along with git-internal and pelagos bumps [8] [9], but nothing breaking the surface.
