Add [1] to the port to fix SpawnNewInstance.  On Linux it looks up
/proc/$shell_pid/cwd to open the new instance in the same working
directory which doesn't work on FreeBSD.  On FreeBSD we can fallback
to /compat/linux for now.

Log:
  x11/alacritty: Apply workaround to let SpawnNewInstance work on FreeBSD

  On Linux Alacritty looks up /proc/$shell_pid/cwd to open new instances
  in the same working directory as the old instance which does not
  work with FreeBSD's procfs(5).  As a workaround we can for now
  fallback to linprocfs(5), often mounted on /compat/linux/proc, until
  there is support for KERN_PROC_CWD and struct kinfo_file in the
  Rust ecosystem (libc or elsewhere).
