Use the real pipe2(2) on all BSD targets.

All supported non-Apple platforms now use the native syscall.  Only ios
and macos lack it.  Deprecate pipe2 on those platforms, because it's
impossible to guarantee atomicity with a userland implementation.  It
was added in:
* DragonflyBSD 4.2
* FreeBSD 10.0
* NetBSD 6.0
* OpenBSD 5.7

 ### Changed
+- Use native `pipe` on all BSD targets.  Users should notice no difference.
+  ([#777](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/777))
 - Renamed existing `ptrace` wrappers to encourage namespacing ([#692](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/692))
 - Marked `sys::ptrace::ptrace` as `unsafe`.
 - Changed function signature of `socket()` and `socketpair()`. The `protocol` argument
