cdbb21bc59 drvbhyve: Use boot-order for grub-bhyve boot device
Rather than just picking the first CD (or failing that, HDD) we come
across, if the user has picked a boot device ordering with <boot
order=''>, respect that (and just try to boot the lowest-index device).

Adds two sets of tests to bhyve2xmlargv; 'grub-bootorder' shows that we
pick a user-specified device over the first device in the domain;
'grub-bootorder2' shows that we pick the first (lowest index) device.

17722c169c 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.
