bootstrap/README: Slice platforms more finely
Separate active use, maintained, and published bulk builds. This amounts to a new users/maintained-but-no-bulk section for FreeBSD. Sort OpenBSD into "platforms with active use" based on list comments. Drop mention of Darwin, as I can find on evidence that Darwin continues to exist outside of macOS in any meaningful way.
