vmware_fusion provider shouldn't print out warnings if the vagrantfile configures vmx data for pcislots

[ccope]

This warning message is very loud and I need a way to silence it to avoid scaring my users.

Vagrant version

1.9.1
vagrant-vmware-fusion plugin version 4.0.18

Host operating system

OS X 10.11

Guest operating system

Ubuntu 14.04

Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  config.ssh.forward_agent = true

  config.vm.define "wb" do |wb|
    wb.vm.provider "vmware_fusion" do |fusion|
      fusion.cpus = `sysctl -n hw.physicalcpu`.to_i
      fusion.memory = 8*1024
      fusion.mount_strategy = "kernel"
      fusion.vmx['ethernet0.pcislotnumber'] = 32
      fusion.vmx['ethernet1.pcislotnumber'] = 33
    end
...

Expected behavior

It should not print out warnings if the vmx data is in the vagrant configuration

Actual behavior

What actually happened?

Happens in 1.9.3 too.

This can be disabled via whitelisting option in the Vagrantfile: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/vmware/boxes.html#vmx-whitelisting
