[ANNOUNCE] libbsd 0.9.1 released

Hi!

Unfortunately the update of the vis/unvis modules from NetBSD in 0.9.0,
carried over an ABI break, which I didn't catch, but which has been known
and reported upstream, before it was published in NetBSD.

The new interface from NetBSD has now percolated into FreeBSD, macOS,
DragonflyBSD and other places, so we have a mess of interfaces.

This release fixes the ABI break by restoring the OpenBSD implementation
as the old version node, and adding the NetBSD one as a new version node.
We currently default to the OpenBSD interface, but emit a warning so that
users can progressively switch to the new NetBSD interface, which will be
made the default on 0.10.0.

The libbsd 0.9.0 release should not be used at all, and upgrading is very
strongly advised.
