Add OVF properties to library deploy

[sneal]

This addresses issue #1718 so you can deploy an OVA from the content library and specify properties typically required to deploy an OVA.

We're using this to deploy nsx-unified-appliance-2.5.0.0.0.14663978 from our local content library.

@sneal Hi,
we're trying to do exactly that for our automated NSX-T deployment.
We took the spec json (via govc import.spec nsx-unified-appliance-2.5.1.0.0.15314292.ova) and adapted it to our needs.

When we tried to apply the spec via the -optionsflag, vCenter started the process the request but failed with the following message:
A general runtime error occurred. An error occurred: Could not convert field 'selected key' of structure 'com.vmware.vcenter.ovf.deployment option params'

I suppose we just configured the spec wrong. Could you provide a working example spec for the nsx-appliance? Thanks in advance!

We found the issue, it is related to this bug:

• library.deploy error upon specifying a deployment option #1856

Building govc from master resolved the issue, we'll just wait for the next release
