Add ability to specify CPU topology for VMs

Description

Currently, it's impossible to create windows VM's with more than 2 CPU cores as BHYVE configures every virtual CPU as a separate package

Add per VM settings that control how CPU cores are configured

Funny enough, the loader control value hw.vmm.topology.cores_per_package no longer works on 11.3, so this will be somewhat necessary for Windows guests that want more than 2 cores.

I believe this will involve adjusting the -c parameter from a single number to a string i.e. sockets=1,cores=2,threads=2
