depends: build qrencode for Freebsd
What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds FreeBSD to the list of operating systems for which Bitcoin Core's build system will compile the optional QR code generation library (qrencode). It is a one-line build configuration change with no apparent security relevance.
No security action required. Review as ordinary build-system portability change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change in depends/packages/packages.mk adds qrencode_freebsd_packages = qrencode alongside existing entries for Linux, macOS (Darwin), and Windows (MinGW). This enables the qrencode dependency to be built automatically when using the depends build system on FreeBSD, matching behavior on other platforms. There is no code modification to qrencode itself or to Bitcoin Core’s QR-handling logic.
