New Feature: Import VMware VMs into KVM (#7881)
This PR adds the capability in CloudStack to convert VMware Instances disk(s) to KVM using virt-v2v and import them as CloudStack instances. It enables CloudStack operators to import VMware instances from vSphere into a KVM cluster managed by CloudStack. vSphere/VMware setup might be managed by CloudStack or be a standalone setup.

    CloudStack will let the administrator select a VM from an existing VMware vCenter in the CloudStack environment or external vCenter requesting vCenter IP, Datacenter name and credentials.
    The migrated VM will be imported as a KVM instance
    The migration is done through virt-v2v: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1351473, https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/virt-v2v-integration.html
    The migration process timeout can be set by the setting convert.instance.process.timeout
    Before attempting the virt-v2v migration, CloudStack will create a clone of the source VM on VMware. The clone VM will be removed after the registration process finishes.
    CloudStack will delegate the migration action to a KVM host and the host will attempt to migrate the VM invoking virt-v2v. In case the guest OS is not supported then CloudStack will handle the error operation as a failure
    The migration process using virt-v2v may not be a fast process
    CloudStack will not perform any check about the guest OS compatibility for the virt-v2v library as indicated on: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1351473.
