Solaris 11.4 SRU51 (Nov 2022) - virtinfo enhancements for Solaris Zones

In the past virtinfo provided only minimal information about the underlying global zone.

root@marcel49:~# uname -a
SunOS marcel49 5.11 11.4.47.119.2 sun4v sparc sun4v non-global-zone

root@marcel49:~# virtinfo get all
NAME            CLASS       PROPERTY VALUE
non-global-zone current     -        -
logical-domain  parent      -        -
non-global-zone unsupported status   not supported in non-global-zone
kernel-zone     unsupported status   not supported in non-global-zone
logical-domain  unsupported status   not supported in non-global-zone


After upgrade to SRU51, we have details from the parent.

Remark: I modified our serial number in the output below.
The serial is helpful if you need to open a case with Oracle Support.
