[Libosinfo] [PATCH] NetBSD: add NetBSD 8.1 data

Hi Fabiano,
1) Version 8.1 is derived from branch 8.0. Already fixed this in the new 
patch.
2) Version 8.0 is still supported.
3) The boot.iso and boot-com.iso files are network installed. One uses 
the VGA console and the other the serial console.
4) Tried to use "variant id", please make sure it is correct.

Vicente.
