scaleVirtualMachine api with details parameter
Hello, @YashasAnand
The `details` parameter of the `scaleVirtualMachine` API is a `MAP`. Basically,
the `MAP` parameter type in CloudStack expects the keys and values as:
```bash
details[0].key=value
```
So, for example, a VM with 512 MB of RAM and 1 vCPU can be scaled to 1024 MB of
RAM and 2 vCPUs by executing the following API call through CloudMonkey:
```bash
scale virtualmachine id=<vm-id> serviceofferingid=<compute-offering-id>
details[0].memory=1024 details[0].cpuNumber=2
```
How does your Python script sends the request? Does each key in the `request`
dict represent a query param in the HTTP request? If so, then one solution
would be to define the details parameter to be something like:
```python
request = {
'command': 'scaleVirtualMachine',
'id': '<virtual-machine-id>',
'serviceofferingid': '<compute-offering-id>',
'response': 'json',
'details[0].memory': 1024 ,
'details[0].cpuNumber': 2
}
```
