Description

YARN-5121 fixed quite a few portability issues, but it also changed how it determines it's location to be very operating specific for security reasons. We should add support for FreeBSD to unbreak it's ports entry, NetBSD (the sysctl options are just in a different order), and for operating systems that do not have a defined method, an escape hatch.
