VMware: Support volumes backed by VStorageObject (FCD)
vSphere 6.5 introduced APIs to manage virtual disks (volumes) as first class objects. The new managed disk entity is called VStorageObject aka First Class Disk (FCD). The APIs to attach/detach volumes backed by VStorageObject are different from that required to attach/detach vmdk based volumes. We have to use the following APIs in VirtualMachine managed object (vSphere API) to attach/detach VStorageObject based volumes:
* Attach volume: VirtualMachine.
* Detach volume: VirtualMachine.
