Bug Description

A controller cannot be created for cloud type 'vsphere':

$ juju bootstrap vsphere vsp

ERROR failed to bootstrap model: cannot start bootstrap instance in any availability zone (aron.internal, aron.internal/Low, aron.internal/High, aron.internal/High/Child)

With the `--debug` option the following message is discerned:

13:37:15 DEBUG juju.provider.common bootstrap.go:216 failed to start instance in availability zone "aron.internal": could not find datastore ""

A (controller?) model configuration key needs to be set to a vSphere datastore name in order for it to work:

$ juju bootstrap --config datastore=datastore1 vsphere vsp

At the very least we should surface the issue better. If a vsphere has only
a single datastore then we should just use it, but if there are multiple
possibilities we should fail with a clear message.
