ESX(i) uses UTF-8, but a Windows based GSX server writes
Windows-1252 encoded VMX files.
Add a test case to ensure that libxml2 provides Windows-1252
to UTF-8 conversion.
VirtualDisks are .vmdk file based. Other files in a datastore
like .iso or .flp files don't have a UUID attached, fall back
to the path as key for them.
Instead of splitting the path part of a datastore path into
directory and file name, keep this in one piece. An example:
"[datastore] directory/file"
was split into this before:
datastoreName = "datastore"
directoryName = "directory"
fileName = "file"
Now it's split into this:
datastoreName = "datastore"
directoryName = "directory"
directoryAndFileName = "directory/file"
This simplifies code using esxUtil_ParseDatastorePath, because
directoryAndFileName is used more often than fileName. Also the
old approach expected the datastore path to reference an actual
file, but this isn't always correct, especially when listing
volumes. In that case esxUtil_ParseDatastorePath is used to parse
a path that references a directory. This fails for a vpx://
connection because the vCenter returns directory paths with a
trailing '/'. The new approach is robust against this and the
actual decision if the datastore path should reference a file or
a directory is up to the caller of esxUtil_ParseDatastorePath.
Update the tests accordingly.
Don't rely on summary.url anymore, because its value is different
between an esx:// and vpx:// connection. Use host.mountInfo.path
instead.
Don't fallback to lookup by UUID (actually lookup by absolute path)
in esxVI_LookupDatastoreByName when lookup by name fails. Add a
seperate function for this: esxVI_LookupDatastoreByAbsolutePath
Questions can block tasks, to handle them automatically the driver can answers
them with the default answer. The auto_answer query parameter allows to enable
this automatic question handling.
* src/esx/README: add a detailed explanation for automatic question handling
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: add automatic question handling for all task related
driver functions
* src/esx/esx_util.[ch]: add handling for the auto_answer query parameter
* src/esx/esx_vi.[ch], src/esx/esx_vi_methods.[ch], src/esx/esx_vi_types.[ch]:
add new VI API methods and types and additional helper functions for
automatic question handling
A given domain XML gets converted to a VMX config, uploaded to the host
and registered as new virtual machine.

* src/esx/esx_vi_types.c: make some error message more verbose
* src/esx/esx_vmx.[ch]: add esxVMX_AbsolutePathToDatastoreRelatedPath()
to convert a path into a datastore related path, add esxVMX_ParseFileName()
to convert from VMX path format to domain XML path format, extend the other
parsing function to be datastore aware, add esxVMX_FormatFileName() to
convert from domain XML path format to VMX path format, fix VMX ethernet
entry formating
