Support the use of VMWare Workstation to testdrive Ubuntu ISOs

Registered by andypiper

Currently testdrive allows the use of kvm, VirtualBox or Parallels to run downloaded ISOs. It could also be enhanced to support the use of VMWare Workstation for those who have it installed.

Example implementation in bash - http://jumpgate.homelinux.net/random/td.sh
