bhyve: Cast away const when fetching a config nvlist

Silence a warning from the compiler about "const" being discarded.  The
warning is correct: nvlist values are supposed to be immutable.
However, fixing this properly will require some contortions on behalf of
consumers who look up a subtree of the config and modify it.  Per a
discussion on freebsd-virtualization@, the solution will probably be to
outright replace the use of nvlists for VM configuration, but until that
happens let's document the problem and silence the warning.

No functional change intended.
