IPv6 support added.
We support 1 IPv6 address per interface. It seems like the vSphere SDK supports more than one, since it's provided as a list.
I can change it to support more than one address. I decided to stick with one for now since that's how the configuration parameters
had been set up by other developers.
The global gateway configuration option has been removed. Instead the user should specify a gateway on NIC level (ipv4_gateway and ipv6_gateway).
For now, the global gateway will be used as a fallback for every NICs ipv4_gateway.
The global gateway configuration option has been marked as deprecated.
User may specify a vmdk in their disk definition.
The options size, template, and vmdk are considered
to be mutually exclusive. User may also set whether each disk
associated with the vm should try to boot after creation.
Todo: Enforce mutual exclusivity, validate the bootable_vmdk_path
It can come in handy to be able to mount ISOs programmatically.
For instance if you're developing a custom appliance (that automatically installs itself on the hard drive volume)
that you want to automatically test on every successful build (given the ISO is uploaded to the vmware datastore).
There are probably lots of other reasons for using this functionality.
