Verification run for MoarVM#1418. Not for merge.

GitHub does not offer hosted runners for FreeBSD, so this uses the
vmactions FreeBSD VM on top of an ubuntu-latest runner. MoarVM has no
test suite of its own, so the job builds NQP against the freshly built
MoarVM and runs the NQP test suite.

This is a separate workflow file, so it neither interferes with nor
delays the existing Azure Pipelines matrix.

Changes:

  • Introduces a new “Test on other platforms” workflow that runs on push, pull_request, and workflow_dispatch.
  • Checks out MoarVM and the upstream Raku/nqp repo, then builds MoarVM and NQP and runs the NQP test suite inside a FreeBSD VM.
