patch filling manufacturer and family smbios field

bhyve is not reporting smbios.system.maker neither smbios.system.family: It
currently uses the standard method of one space character.
But reporting this non-visible character create not-so-funny debugging session
with tools parsing those field.


So, to prevent returning this non-visible character my proposal is to improve
bhyve to return those strings:
smbios.system.family="Virtual Machine"
smbios.system.maker="BHYVE"

For information, Amazon Instances are reporting:
smbios.system.family="Default string"
smbios.system.maker="Amazon EC2"

and VirtualBox VMs:
smbios.system.family="Virtual Machine"
smbios.system.maker="innotek GmbH"
