[hyperv] Require support for VMBus version 3.0 or newer
We require the ability to disconnect from and reconnect to VMBus; if
we don't have this then there is no (viable) way for a loaded
operating system to continue to use any VMBus devices. (There is also
a small but non-zero risk that the host will continue to write to our
interrupt and monitor pages, since the VMBUS_UNLOAD message in earlier
versions is essentially a no-op.)
This requires us to ensure that the host supports protocol version 3.0
(VMBUS_VERSION_WIN8_1). However, we can't actually _use_ protocol
version 3.0, since doing so causes an iSCSI-booted Windows Server 2012
R2 VM to crash due to a NULL pointer dereference in vmbus.sys.
To work around this problem, we first ensure that we can connect using
protocol v3.0, then disconnect and reconnect using the oldest known
protocol.
This deliberately prevents the use of the iPXE native Hyper-V drivers
on older versions of Hyper-V, where we could use our drivers but in so
doing would break the loaded operating system.
