Some Linux guests will implement a 'halt' by disabling the APIC and executing
the 'HLT' instruction. This condition was detected by 'vm_handle_hlt()' and
converted into the SPINDOWN_CPU exitcode . The bhyve(8) process would exit
the vcpu thread in response to a SPINDOWN_CPU and when the last vcpu was
spun down it would reset the virtual machine via vm_suspend(VM_SUSPEND_RESET).

This functionality was broken in r263780 in a way that made it impossible
to kill the bhyve(8) process because it would loop forever in
vm_handle_suspend().

Unbreak this by removing the code to spindown vcpus. Thus a 'halt' from
a Linux guest will appear to be hung but this is consistent with the
behavior on bare metal. The guest can be rebooted by using the bhyvectl
options '--force-reset' or '--force-poweroff'.
