Update default ISO links to point at trial ISOs #4

Joe Fitzgerald updated all his Windows templates to point at valid trial image ISOs, these make a sensible default. Update templates accordingly, verifying they work. https://github.com/joefitzgerald/packer-windows

Good idea. Just found out that the http care.dlservice.microsoft.com download link for Windows 7 eval works again. In the meantime, Joe has change some of the server urls from care.dlservice.microsoft.com/dl/download/... to download.microsoft.com/download/... some days ago as the links were broken. It seems that some angle at Microsoft has fixed that.

Propably the Makefile should be enhanced to customize the iso_checksum as well as the eval version will have different checksums.

The trial versions of Windows Server 2012R2 won't accept the ProductKey field in the Autounattend.xml, which is required for the non-eval versions. So I'm going to create special templates for the eval versions instead.

Locally, I already did that. Unfortunately, all my templates are sorted (see #16).

Any thoughts on sorting the keys in our templates?

Packer itself has the command line parameter packer fix. You may use this to create sorted templates. A kind of go fmt, but for packer. This option is used to upgrade packer templates for the current packer version. I remember I needed it to upgrade to packer 0.5 many months ago.
