This follows the same method as other platforms like OSX and NetBSD. This will fix rustup and building from git (once libc is updated for bootstrap) on FreeBSD12 post-ino64 in freebsd/freebsd-src@f713b08. It also avoids having to hotpatch the stage0 compiler, and HOME/.cargo libc files on FreeBSD12 to build rust. The only real pitfall is that this will prevent interaction with inodes that have an ino_t above the 32-bit limit due to truncation. On the other hand Rust won't work at all on 12 without doing this currently. In general it should not be a problem for users and if they need 64-bit ino_t they can use a patched libc, rather than the current state of affairs in requiring a patched libc to use Rust on 12. A better, or complementary, approach would be something like proposed in rust-lang/rfcs#2048 to allow targetting a specific version of FreeBSD. This would allow Rust to default to this compatibility mode by targetting FreeBSD10 and still allow targetting FreeBSD12 for 64-bit ino_t. The symbol versions used were taken from the old version in freebsd/freebsd-src@f713b08#diff-61a32fcfb7ecd4517665fed591813c57 and freebsd/freebsd-src@f713b08#diff-7f67ccf8b5f44ff2f54eaab0207abb8d. The scope of functions versioned here differs from other platforms as not all structs were modified that were on others, such as DIR for `opendir`, `telldir`, etc. Only functions using dirent, stat, glob_t, and dev_t need the changes.
