disable SO_REUSEADDR for FreeBSD and enable SO_REUSEPORT instead

I have a dual-homed machine which advertises mDNS resources to only one
network. After running the mdnsd in debug mode I discovered that it reports
"bind: address already in use" when trying to bind to the second interface. 
It appears that on FreeBSD using SO_REUSEADDR is not enough and one needs to
use SO_REUSEPORT to successfully receive unicast and multicast packets on the
same port on multiple interfaces.

Suggested patch was made against latest Apple upstream version
"mDNSResponder-765.20.4"
