vsphere-iso: running scripts against terraform created VM from vsphere-iso exported as OVF

[adeturner]

Overview of the Issue

If I create a vsphere-iso image and export it as a OVF, and then try to instantiate it via vsphere_virtual_machine there is currently no easy way that I can run scripts against the VM.

There are three blockers from a terraform perspective

• vsphere_virtual_machine.vApp properties cannot be used as it is still a vsphere-iso enhancement #44

• vsphere_virtual_machine.linux_options.script_text fails due to 1915 Add support for Option to enable vmware-toolbox-cmd config set deployPkg enable-custom-scripts true

• vsphere_virtual_machine.extra_config fails due to 1124 guestinfo.userdata in extra_config not passed to resource configuration when using OVF and the docs stating "Do not use extra_config when working with a template imported from OVF/OVA as your settings may be ignored. Use the vapp block properties section as described in Using vApp Properties for OVF/OVA Configuration."

I'm raising a bug because the enhancement already exists in this repo and I'd like to draw attention to it, and to see if there are any good examples of a work around.

No need for the additional issue.

Plan to review this one soon with @nywilken.
