    VMware: enable VNC access without user having to enter password

    When the vnc_password was not configured in the 'vmware' section
    the user was unable to access the VNC console. The user would be
    requested to enter a password but all attempts would fail.

    The 'vnc_password' was added as a workaround to the problem above.

    The fix ensures that the VMware driver behaves like all of the other
    virt drivers when it comes to the VNC access, that is, the user will
    not have to enter a password.

    The password support will be deprecated and removed in the next
    version.

    Fixes bug: 1215352
