Glance VMware store to support multiple datastores

Registered by Sabari Murugesan

Glance, when configured to use VMware store, stores the images in a virtual
storage container called datastore, identified by the configuration option
vmware_datastore_name. The size of the datastore can only be increased to a
certain limit which also depends upon the underlying physical storage.

The capacity of the store is thus bound by the size of a single datastore and
poses serious scalability issues.
