VMware: Enable setting memory, disk and vnic limits (partial)

Registered by Gary Kotton

Currently the VMware driver enables setting CPU limits and shares. The Blueprint extends that to enable setting the following limits: and shares:
- disk (http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/index.jsp#com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc/vim.vm.device.VirtualDisk.html)
- memory (http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/index.jsp#com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc/vim.vm.ConfigSpec.html#field_detail)
- vnic (http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/index.jsp#com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc/vim.vm.device.VirtualEthernetCard.html)

In Liberty we added memory and disk support. We still need to add vnic support and support for flavor updates.

Marking as partially complete. I had to defer the image parts, as part of Feature Freeze. --johnthetubaugy 2016.02.08
