The domain XML generator creates the mac addres strings with lowercase
strings with a separate piece of code. This patch changes the formating
helper to do the same stuff to allow using it to normalize a string
provided by the user. After this change some of the tests that are
outputing the mac address will need to be changed.
Before commit 145d6cb05c (in August 2010) absolute file names
in VMX and domain XML configs were handled correctly. But this got
lost during the refactoring. The test cases didn't highlight this
problem because they have their own set of file name handling
functions. The actual ones require a real connection to an ESX
server. Also the test case functions always worked correctly.
Fix the regression and add a new in-the-wild VMX file that contains
such a problematic absolute path. Even though this test case won't
protect against new regressions.
