Widen range of OS support - *BSD, Haiku etc.

Opening a new issue was suggested at https://github.com/JacquesLucke/animation_nodes/issues/1240#issuecomment-1239483711

Blender itself is available on more platforms than AN supports: FreeBSD: https://www.freshports.org/graphics/blender/ OpenBSD: https://openports.se/graphics/blender Haiku: https://depot.haiku-os.org/__multipage/pkg/blender3/haikuports/haikuports_x86_64/3/0/1/-/1/x86_64?natlangcode=en

Being on OpenBSD, I made a try to install AN and had no success. Pre-built release for Linux doesn't fit whereas in building it myself I got stuck with:

egcc: fatal error: cannot execute 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

find / -name cc1plus returns nothing. I'm not actually knowledgeable in the topic.
