sysutils/bhyvemgrd: New port: privileged helper daemon for bhyvemgr
Bhyvemgrd exposes a JSON-based IPC interface over a UNIX domain socket,
allowing the bhyvemgr client to request privileged operations required for
bhyve virtual machines, execute system-level tasks, monitor VM process states,
and receive asynchronous state notifications.
