Extend README for NetBSD.

Add NetBSD to the list of systems on which bup is known to work.  Give
hints for bup usage on NetBSD, including the location of the fuse
bindings and the pkgsrc entry.  Caution about incorrect cycle
detection on fuse mounts.  Add pkgsrc URLs.

+Notes on NetBSD/pkgsrc
+----------------------
+
+ - See pkgsrc/sysutils/bup, which should be the most recent stable
+   release and includes man pages.  It also has a reasonable set of
+   dependencies (git, par2, py-fuse-bindings).
+
+ - The "fuse-python" package referred to is hard to locate, and is a
+   separate tarball for the python language binding distributed by the
+   fuse project on sourceforge.  It is available as
+   pkgsrc/filesystems/py-fuse-bindings and on NetBSD 5, "bup fuse"
+   works with it.
+
+ - "bup fuse" presents every directory/file as inode 0.  The directory
+   traversal code ("fts") in NetBSD's libc will interpret this as a
+   cycle and error out, so "ls -R" and "find" will not work.
+
+ - It is not clear if extended attribute and POSIX acl support does
+   anything useful.
