Summary

This patch adds UEFI support in vmrun.sh/usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -E

Test Plan

pkg install uefi-edk2-bhyve tigervnc

Run vmrun.sh as you normally would, but pass in the -E option, which will cause bhyve to create a framebuffer, listening on 127.0.0.1:5900. You can use vncviewer from the tigervnc package to connect to the framebuffer.
