     flua: add fbsd module
This module is bundled into flua, it only provides for now the exec
     function. The point of the function is to be able to execute a program
     without actually executing a shell.
to use it:
     fbsd.exec({"id", "bapt"})

Hi Baptiste,

How is this different from posix.unistd.exec in the luaposix module?
Wouldn't it be better to add this to the existing posix.unistd namespace
in lposix.c?  exec does not seem FreeBSD-specific.


fwiw, posix.unistd is expected to match some subset of the actual lposix module: https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix -- we could add something there, but I'd prefer to see it go upstream first before we adopt it, in general, if it's one of these subsets-of-a-module that we implement.

Thanks,

Kyle Evans
