Adding bhyve to the Continuous Integration system

Adding bhyve to the Continuous Integration system

[Rebecca Cran]

Now that bhyve is in edk2, I'd like to add CI support for it. I have a 
FreeBSD machine that has the Azure Agent installed: would it be possible 
to add it to https://dev.azure.com/tianocore/edk2-ci/ ?

Also, if I add a BhyvePkg.ci.yaml file in OvmfPkg/Bhyve will it be 
found? Or should I extend OvmfPkg.ci.yaml instead?

Good idea, IMO.

I don't know, unfortunately.

I think you should extend "OvmfPkg.ci.yaml", because of the following
passage in the ".pytool/Readme.md" file in the edk2 tree:
