CLOUDSTACK-9379: Support nested virtualization at VM level on VMware
Hypervisor## Introduction
[JIRA TICKET](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-9379)
It is desired to support nested virtualization at VM level for VMware
hypervisor. Current behaviour supports enabling/desabling global nested
virtualization by modifying global config `'vmware.nested.virtualization'`. It
is wished to improve this feature, having control at VM level instead of a
global control only.
A new global configuration is added, to enable/disable VM nested virtualization
control: `'vmware.nested.virtualization.perVM'`. Default value=false
After a vm deployment or start command, vm params include
`'nestedVirtualizationFlag'` key and its value is:
- true -> nested virtualization enabled
- false -> nested virtualization disabled
**We will determinate nested virtualization enabled/disabled by examining this
3 values:**
- **(1)** global configuration `'vmware.nested.virtualization'` value
- **(2)** global configuration `'vmware.nested.virtualization.perVM'` value
- **(3)** `'nestedVirtualizationFlag'` value in `user_vm_details` if present,
`null` if not.
Using this 3 values, there are different use cases:
- **(1)** = TRUE, **(2)** = TRUE, **(3)** is null -> _ENABLED_
- **(1)** = TRUE, **(2)** = TRUE, **(3)** = TRUE -> _ENABLED_
- **(1)** = TRUE, **(2)** = TRUE, **(3)** = FALSE -> _DISABLED_
- **(1)** = TRUE, **(2)** = FALSE, **(3)** indifferent -> _ENABLED_
- **(1)** = FALSE, **(2)** = TRUE, **(3)** is null -> _DISABLED_
- **(1)** = FALSE, **(2)** = TRUE, **(3)** = TRUE -> _ENABLED_
- **(1)** = FALSE, **(2)** = TRUE, **(3)** = FALSE -> _DISABLED_
- **(1)** = FALSE, **(2)** = FALSE, **(3)** indifferent -> _DISABLED_
