Adds a "pgid" task plugin for FreeBSD that manages job steps using process groups. Provides an alternative to Linux cgroups for resource tracking.

This patch introduces a new "pgid" task plugin for FreeBSD that manages
process groups (PGID) as an alternative to cgroups. Since FreeBSD does
not provide Linux cgroups, this plugin ensures proper tracking and
management of job steps using native process group semantics.

The plugin integrates with Slurm's task management interface and allows
FreeBSD systems to run workloads without requiring Linux-specific
features.

Original patch was developed for the FreeBSD port of Slurm to improve
usability on non-Linux platforms.
