fix(FreeBSD): remove null terminator from executable path
On FreeBSD, sysctl(KERN_PROC_PATHNAME) returns a null-terminated
string with pathLen including the terminator. This causes Nix to
fail during manual generation with:
error:
… while calling the 'concatStringsSep' builtin
at /nix/var/nix/builds/nix-63232-402489527/source/doc/manual/generate-settings.nix:99:1:

error: input string '/nix/store/gq89cj02b5zs67cbd85vzg5cgsgnd8mj-nix-2.31.2/bin/nix␀'
cannot be represented as Nix string because it contains null bytes
The issue occurs because generate-settings.nix reads the nix binary
path from JSON and evaluates it as a Nix string, which cannot contain
null bytes. Normal C++ string operations don't trigger this since they
handle null-terminated strings correctly.
Strip the null terminator on FreeBSD to match other platforms (Linux
uses /proc/self/exe, macOS uses _NSGetExecutablePath).
