Full Release Notes

### Added
- *Network Interface Statistics*: Real-time monitoring of network interface statistics across all platforms
    - Cross-platform support for Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD
    - Display of interface-level metrics including packets sent/received, bytes transferred, and errors
    -  Platform-specific implementations optimized for each operating system
    - New interface statistics module with dedicated platform handlers
    - TCP network analytics 🎉 :)

### Fixed
- **Cross-Compilation**: Fixed eBPF build issues when cross-compiling to non-Linux platforms
  - Made `libbpf-cargo` an optional build dependency
  - Fixed `build.rs` to check TARGET environment variable instead of host platform
  - Prevents Linux-specific dependencies from being built for FreeBSD, macOS, and Windows
- **FreeBSD Build**: Switched from cross-compilation to native FreeBSD VM builds
  - Uses `vmactions/freebsd-vm` for native FreeBSD compilation
  - Eliminates cross-compilation sysroot and library linking issues
  - Ensures FreeBSD builds work reliably with native package manager
