handbook/virtualization: Suggest using supported RELEASE for bhyve

Browse source 
Since 10.3-RELEASE has gone EOL a while ago, update instructions to
match the newest -RELEASE on the newest releng branch as of writing.

While here, also correct at typo that instructed people to look in
/usr/shared which doesn't exist in hier(7).

FreeBSD comes with an example script for running a virtual machine in bhyve. The script will start the virtual machine and run it in a loop, so it will automatically restart if it crashes. The script takes a number of options to control the configuration of the machine: `-c` controls the number of virtual CPUs, `-m` limits the amount of memory available to the guest, `-t` defines which [.filename]#tap# device to use, `-d` indicates which disk image to use, `-i` tells bhyve to boot from the CD image instead of the disk, and `-I` defines which CD image to use. The last parameter is the name of the virtual machine, used to track the running machines. This example starts the virtual machine in installation mode:
[source,bash]
....
# sh /usr/shared/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -c 1 -m 1024M -t tap0 -d guest.img -i -I FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso guestname

The virtual machine will boot and start the installer. After installing a system in the virtual machine, when the system asks about dropping in to a shell at the end of the installation, choose btn:[Yes].
