901baf2c9e doc: update FreeBSD build guide for 12.0 (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  Updated the build guide for FreeBSD 12.0 (also bought more inline with the other `BSD` guides.

  As of FreeBSD 12.0, an ancient GDB is [no longer installed by default](https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.0R/relnotes.html). Instead, a modern version is available from [`devel/gdb`](https://www.freshports.org/devel/gdb), which is currently version 8.2.x. A recent `LLDB` is also available.

FreeBSD build guide
======================
(updated for FreeBSD 11.1)
(updated for FreeBSD 12.0)
This guide describes how to build bitcoind and command-line utilities on FreeBSD.

You will need the following dependencies, which can be installed as root via pkg:
```
```shell
pkg install autoconf automake boost-libs git gmake libevent libtool openssl pkgconf
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
```
In order to run the test suite (recommended), you will need to have Python 3 installed:
```
```shell
pkg install python3
```
For the wallet (optional):
```
./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd`
export BDB_PREFIX="$PWD/db4"
```
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
Download the source code:
```
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
### Building BerkeleyDB
BerkeleyDB is only necessary for the wallet functionality. To skip this, pass
`--disable-wallet` to `./configure` and skip to the next section.
```shell
./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd`
export BDB_PREFIX="$PWD/db4"
```
## Building Bitcoin Core
**Important**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error):
```
With wallet:
```shell
./autogen.sh
./configure # to build with wallet OR
./configure --disable-wallet # to build without wallet
./configure --with-gui=no \
BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" \
BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include"
```
followed by either:
```
gmake
Without wallet:
```shell
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-gui=no --disable-wallet
```
to build without testing, or
followed by:
```shell
gmake # use -jX here for parallelism
gmake check # Run tests if Python 3 is available
```
gmake check
```
to also run the test suite (recommended, if Python 3 is installed).
*Note on debugging*: The version of `gdb` installed by default is [ancient and considered harmful](https://wiki.freebsd.org/GdbRetirement).
It is not suitable for debugging a multi-threaded C++ program, not even for getting backtraces. Please install the package `gdb` and
use the versioned gdb command (e.g. `gdb7111`).
