Refactored vmware tools scripts

[svpace]

Update Centos 7 to use OVT and refactored the scripts structure to make it easier to include new distributions. #600 #621

I don't see scripts/centos/vmware.sh which was added being called in the PR. Also this only address VMware which is fine for the moment but we should really abstract all of them or not at all.

looks like this is indented unnecessarily

[svpace]

Indeed. Fixed it.

Now that I've got 2.2.9 out the door I can look at testing this across all the providers.

[svpace]

Hi @cheeseplus, did you had the chance to test this one up?

[cheeseplus]

Let's get this in and see how we do.

Are there any specific host requirements to use this? I tried to build a CentOS 7.2 template incorporating this pull request but the guest is unable to access shared folders, eventually timing out with:

HGFS was never found on the running virtual machine. This must be
installed either through VMware tools or Open VM Tools. HGFS is
required for shared folders to work properly. Please install either
the VMware tools or Open VM Tools and try again.

Doesn't look like this helps for CentOS platforms as there is no HGFS distributed with open-vm-tools so that makes 99% of the reason why we'd use it moot :(

See: #667 (comment)

Indeed, AFAIK HGFS will only be available when the CentOS team upgrades to OVT 10. I don't use the shared folders feature that much since it is not something I would have in production (i'm a rsync guy myself :) but I imagine that I may be the exception in this case.

Nonetheless, what do you think about a variable to control this behavior? So we can use the variable file to select between OVT and VMT boxes?
