Add vmplayer.profile as a redirect to vmware.profile.

This is apparently the filename for the "VMWare Workstation Player" on
Linux Mint 20.3 (based on Ubuntu 20.04)[1].

Relates to #3526 #5861.

It apparently fails on Linux Mint 20.3 (based on Ubuntu 20.04) due to
the "VMWare Kernel Module Updater" being unable to find gcc[1].

Relates to netblue30#3526.

It appears to be broken on Linux Mint 20.3 (based on Ubuntu 20.04), due
to the "VMWare Kernel Module Updater" being unable to install kernel
modules[1].
