Patches to run whipper on FreeBSD

[ulu]

I tried whipper on FreeBSD but find some hard-dependencies to Linux in the implementation which lead to error messages. I used:

dvl@mybsd:~ % uname -or
FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p5

(venv) dvl@mybsd:~/Music/rip % whipper --version
whipper 0.10.1.dev65+g71251a0b8

Some of the developers can use these patches which let whipper run on FreeBSD 15 :

For /whipper/common/drive.py
