Don't include the guest memory segments in the bhyve(8) process core dump.

This has not added a lot of value when debugging bhyve issues while greatly
increasing the time and space required to store the core file.

Passing the "-C" option to bhyve(8) will change the default and dump guest
memory in the core dump.
