Bug Description

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/support-matrix.html#console_serial_log says that vmware supports getting serial console output, which it doesn't as it doesn't implement the get_console_output method in the vmware driver.

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/14.0.0/nova/conf/serial_console.py#L31 says that only the libvirt driver supports serial console access, but hyper-v does also since it implements the get_serial_console virt driver method.

    Update docs for serial console support

    There are two changes here:

    1. The serial_console config option group help text is
       updated to point out that hyper-v also supports serial
       console access. This is based on virt drivers that
       implement the 'get_serial_console' method.

    2. The hypervisor feature matrix is updated to point out
       that the vmware driver does not support getting serial
       console output. This is based on virt drivers that
       implement the 'get_console_output' method.

    NOTE(mriedem): Ironic is not listed as a supported driver
    in the serial_console option help text as that support
    was added with c9a64996ecc317b2c05d688e0f5d31c37122ca01 in
    Ocata.
