bhyve: Support /domain/bootloader configuration for non-FreeBSD guests.

We still default to bhyveloader(1) if no explicit bootloader configuration is supplied in the domain. If the /domain/bootloader looks like grub-bhyve and the user doesn't supply /domain/bootloader_args, we make an intelligent guess and try chainloading the first partition on the disk (or a CD if one exists, under the assumption that for a VM a CD is likely an install source). Caveat: Assumes the HDD boots from the msdos1 partition. I think this is a pretty reasonable assumption for a VM. (DrvBhyve with Bhyveload already assumes that the first disk should be booted.) I've tested both HDD and CD boot and they seem to work.
