bhyve: implement rdmsr for MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL
Without the -w option, Windows guests crash on boot. This is caused by a rdmsr of MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL. Windows checks this MSR to determine enabled VMX features. This MSR isn't emulated in bhyve, so a #GP exception is injected which causes Windows to crash. Fix by returning a rdmsr of MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL with Lock Bit set and VMX disabled to informWindows that VMX isn't available.
