  bsdinstall: Suggest the GPT+Active workaround on Dell T5810
  
  The Dell Precision Tower 5810 fails to boot from GPT in Legacy/BIOS mode
  without the Active flag in the Protective MBR.  Suggest the workaround
  during installation.
  
  Since an increasing number of Dell systems exhibit this behavior,
  I imagine all Dells past a certain date will do so.  I would like
  to suggest the workaround for all Dells with a BIOS date of, say,
  2014 or later, but I would need to test a variety of systems before
  committing such a change.
  
  Relnotes:   We should probably suggest using GPT+Active on "recent" Dells.
