Add NetBSD install instructions

I've just packaged television for NetBSD and merged the package into pkgsrc main branch.

Did you have something else in mind than adding the installation instructions to the docs?

@alexpasmantier Honestly, adding installation instructions to the docs was my purpose. This makes the platform visible when people visit the website.

Do you have any questions?

I can say that, I will be maintaining the package and try to keep it up-to-date within a reasonable time frame. The only if here depends on the MSRV required. For example, Cargo.toml says 1.87, I currently have 1.88 installed but, NetBSD currently has 1.86 as default. This time, it was possible to patch the requirement down to 1.86 and the package built fine. A fellow dev using defaults could confirm this.

You can search packages online, here's the result for television, https://pkgsrc.se/textproc/television
This usually takes up to 24h to be visible. Somehow Repology takes longer, one can expect up to 2 days before it shows the correct version there.

Finally, stable package branches are cut every 3 months on NetBSD. This means, television will be available to general users after the next release in September. For those users running on "current", i.e. rolling packages it's available now. Although, it has to be built from source as we don't provide binary builds for these.
Personally, I don't use releases. I run the development branch of the OS with rolling packages.

If you wonder anything else, just ask and, thank you for considering the addition.
