folder_template

@machacekondra I didnt know that feature existed. I think the only difference is that converts a VM into a template, where-as this clones the VM and creates a template from the clone. So you keep the VM.

I dont think that difference is significant enough to justify keeping this, but it might be useful to keep this around if we want to deconstruct the vmware_guest module in the future?
