bhyve: support relocating fbuf and passthru data BARs

Description

bhyve: support relocating fbuf and passthru data BARs

We want to allow the UEFI firmware to enumerate and assign
addresses to PCI devices so we can boot from NVMe[1]. Address
assignment of PCI BARs is properly handled by the PCI emulation
code in general, but a few specific cases need additional support.
fbuf and passthru map additional objects into the guest physical
address space and so need to handle address updates. Here we add a
callback to emulated PCI devices to inform them of a BAR
configuration change. fbuf and passthru then watch for these BAR
changes and relocate the frame buffer memory segment and passthru
device mmio area respectively.

We also add new VM_MUNMAP_MEMSEG and VM_UNMAP_PPTDEV_MMIO ioctls
to vmm(4) to facilitate the unmapping needed for addres updates.
