VMware: volume vmdks are always created using lsiLogic

[Vipin Balachandran]

Empty volumes are created using lsiLogic adapter. Some versions of the Windows OS do not support lsiLogic and hence the VM may fail to boot from such volumes or the volume may not be recognized. There should be an option to specify the default adapter type for new volumes and override this setting using volume type extra-spec.

    VMware: Config option for default adapter type

    Currently vmdk volumes are created with lsiLogic adapter.
    The volume may not be recognized if the guest OS does not
    support lsiLogic. Adding config option 'vmware_adapter_type'
    to specify the default adapter type for new volumes.

    DocImpact
    Added new driver config option 'vmware_adapter_type' to
    specify the default adapter type for new volumes created
    by the VMware VMDK driver.
