    bhyvectl: improve options error handling
    
    Currently, it is possible to execute bhyvectl(8) with mutually exclusive
    options, such as "--destroy" and "--suspend", and it will print out
    obscure errors, e.g.:
    
     bhyvectl --suspend=/var/run/vms/my_vm --destroy --vm my_vm
     connect() failed: Connection refused
    
    Address that by failing early if mutually exclusive options were
    specified.
    
    Additionally, move the BHYVE_SNAPSHOT block before the errors are
    printed, so its errors are also displayed.
