This replaces the 'struct vm, int vcpuid' tuple passed to most API
calls and is similar to the changes recently made in vmm(4) in the
kernel.
struct vcpu is an opaque type managed by libvmmapi. For now it stores
a pointer to the VM context and an integer id.
As an immediate effect this removes the divergence between the kernel
and userland for the instruction emulation code introduced by the
recent vmm(4) changes.
Since this is a major change to the vmmapi API, bump VMMAPI_VERSION to
0x200 (2.0) and the shared library major version.
While here (and since the major version is bumped), remove unused
vcpu argument from vm_setup_pptdev_msi*().
Add new functions vm_suspend_all_cpus() and vm_resume_all_cpus() for
use by the debug server. The underyling ioctl (which uses a vcpuid of
-1) remains unchanged, but the userlevel API now uses separate
functions for global CPU suspend/resume.

Firmware tables require too much knowledge of system configuration,
and it's difficult to pass that information in general terms to a library.
The upcoming ACPI work exposed this - it will also livein bhyve.
Also, remove code specific to NetApp from the mptable name, and remove
the -n option from bhyve.
