GHA/non-native: BSD overhaul, test more autotools, bump versions
- add autotools jobs for MidnightBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD.
  Takes under 3 minutes per new job, under +6m in total.
  - comment out MidnightBSD to save CI time.
  - to make them as fast as possible, skip building tests and examples,
    and omit libidn2, openldap dependencies.
- add DragonFly BSD cmake job, which finally works.
  (keep it commented out since the package server fails frequently.)
- do `mport index/upgrade` to make MidnightBSD autotools builds work.
- rework filtering MidnightBSD package manager's excessive log output.
- fixup OpenBSD autotools job to uninstall system curl to avoid linking
  against it (and breaking debug builds).
- make OpenBSD package manager commands non-interactive.
- specify install packages for each matrix entry.
- make autotools build step verbose (to ease debugging).
- add link to DragonFly BSD package repo.
- bump cross-platform-actions from 1.1.0 to 1.3.0.
- bump FreeBSD 15.0 to 15.1.
- bump OpenBSD to 7.7 to 7.9.
  This did not go well last time with 7.8, let's see with 7.9.
  Ref: 8d00e28136 #19372
  Ref: c3b890b2c0 #19368
- sync test-skipper keywords with rest of workflows.
- drop installing impacket. It was unused.
  (also a slow install with many dependencies)

The original motivation was to prepare fixing OpenBSD's (and possibly
other platforms) `getaddrinfo()` thread-safety check.
