ARM64: add vmx and pvscsi to GENERIC

As more people are starting to use VMWare ESXi ARM Fling along with pre-built
FreeBSD ISO images, I think it would be worthwhile to include the "vmx" network
driver and "pvscsi" storage controller driver in ARM64 GENERIC, just as it is
included with AMD64 GENERIC.

Since the drivers are identical between AMD64 and ARM64, this shouldn't cause
much concern. I've personally been using both drivers for a couple months now,
since around the launch of ESXi ARM Fling.

This will give users wanting to test FreeBSD ARM virtual machines a much better
"out of the box" experience.
