The new RTC emulation supports all interrupt modes: periodic, update ended
and alarm. It is also capable of maintaining the date/time and NVRAM contents
across virtual machine reset. Also, the date/time fields can now be modified
by the guest.
Since bhyve now emulates both the PIT and the RTC there is no need for
"Legacy Replacement Routing" in the HPET so get rid of it.
The RTC device state can be inspected via bhyvectl as follows:
bhyvectl --vm=vm --get-rtc-time
bhyvectl --vm=vm --set-rtc-time=<unix_time_secs>
bhyvectl --vm=vm --rtc-nvram-offset=<offset> --get-rtc-nvram
bhyvectl --vm=vm --rtc-nvram-offset=<offset> --set-rtc-nvram=<value>

This reduces variability during timer calibration by keeping the emulation
"close" to the guest. Additionally having all timer emulations in the kernel
will ease the transition to a per-VM clock source (as opposed to using the
host's uptime keep track of time).

Most I/O port handlers return -1 to signal an error. If this value is returned
without modification to vm_run() then it leads to incorrect behavior because
'-1' is interpreted as ERESTART at the system call level.
Fix this by always returning EIO to signal an error from an I/O port handler.

The emulation is constrained in a number of ways: 64-bit only, doesn't check
for all exception conditions, limited to i/o ports emulated in userspace.
Some of these constraints will be relaxed in followup commits.

Be more conservative about "catching up" callouts that were supposed
to fire in the past by skipping an interrupt if it was
scheduled too far in the past.
Restore the PIT ACPI DSDT entries and add an entry for NMISC too.
