    VMware: Support for non-default port

    Currently the VMDK driver fails to connect to vCenter server
    if vCenter is configured to listen to any port other than the
    default port 443. This patch fixes it by adding support for a
    new config option 'vmware_host_port' which specifies the port
    number to connect to vCenter server.

    DocImpact
      Added config option 'vmware_host_port' which specifies the
      port number to connect to vCenter server.
