Improve Threading Support for FreeBSD

Some functions are not implemented for FreeBSD which are required to run concurrent programs properly. One of them is getting the number of CPUs on the given system -- this can be done in the same way as on Darwin systems (by using the sysctl(3) interface), and the other one is setting the affinity for threads -- it can be implemented by using the CPU set functions introduced in FreeBSD 7.1.
