FreeBSD: Use the "dhclient" command to renew a DHCP IP address.

On FreeBSD, "/etc/rc.d/netif" is sufficient to stop a network interface
when suspending a VM.  When resuming a VM, DHCP configured interfaces
must be restarted with "/etc/rc.d/dhclient".

This fix is courtesy of Steve Wills, maintainer of open-vm-tools on
FreeBSD, and Shuai Wang.
