Summary

This marks FreeBSD GCE images as gVNIC capable by adding the
--guest-os-features=GVNIC flag at creation time as suggested in GCE
documentation[1]. This allows Generation 3 and newer GCE instances
to leverage advanced networking capabilities and performance
enhancements provided by gVNIC. Users will benefit from these
improvements without needing to create custom images.

Just to confirm, this will land in stable/13 and stable/14? It looks like we have the gve driver in both.

Yes, the driver is already there, this would advertise their availability to GCE; otherwise users would have to create custom images just for it.
