Hello,

It seems that Prometheus for OpenBSD is no longer working since
Prometheus 2.19.
The sementics around memory mapping are very different from the other
operating systems. The experts in the github issue have tracked this
down to the lack of a unified buffer cache for mmap for OpenBSD.

This seems to me that Prometheus simply does not work on that platform.

I propose we remove OpenBSD from the Prometheus build and release list, and add 
CI
for other OS', like freebsd etc.

If the community wants to add support back, we would need benchmarks to
see the impact on the other operating systems of the proposed solution.
