1. Fix bugzilla issue 24389 - Make Phobos compile on FreeBSD 14 again. …

   zlib can't be built with importC on FreeBSD 14, because qsort_r in
   stdlib.h uses some asm instructions, which dmd can't handle.
   
   dlang/dmd#16184 fixed it so that we got a
   proper error message about it (and theoretically making it so that zlib
   could be compiled on FreeBSD 14 with gdc or ldc, though I haven't tried
   that), but it didn't fix it so that it could build on dmd, since that
   would require that dmd be able to handle GNU assembly code, which isn't
   a planned feature AFAIK.
   
   dlang#8914 fixed it so that it's possible
   to build Phobos without using importC by providing a make variable, but
   it didn't do anything for FreeBSD specifically.
   
   This commit changes it so that FreeBSD sets that make variable in the
   makefile so that you don't have to do it manually to get FreeBSD 14 to
   build. It's not necessary for FreeBSD 13.2 (which is what the auto
   testers currently use), but it will be necessary for FreeBSD 14 (14.0
   currently being the latest release of FreeBSD).
   
   I can confirm from testing that explicitly setting USE_IMPORTC=1 on the
   command line will overrides this change, so that variable can still be
   set one way or the other on FreeBSD. It's just now 0 by default so that
   it will build by default on FreeBSD 14.
