Bug Description

At the moment the _select_best_datastore method in the VMware driver chooses the datastore in dependence of the free space. The datastore with the most free space will be chosen for a new instance.

On of our customers want to place new volumes on the datastore with the less provisioned space and not on the one with the most free space.

A required change in Oslo.vmware was already merged and released (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/402601).

This RFE is similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1643569. The change for Nova is pending: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/402632/.
