use cloudinit like user data in vsphere compute ressource
Description
as a vsphere user, i would like to use the customisationspec feature of vsphere from foreman
that means applying a user_data template and have it applied when deploying a vmware vm from template
changes need to be done at the following level
-rbvmomi to pass additional options
-foreman to handle user_data and pass it to setComputePowerUp in app/models/concerns/orchestration/compute.rb
note rbvmomi will need some slight modifications as the current code doesnt make use of all the customspec options. Still, no modifications is currently required there nor at fog

For googlers:
VMWare has actually special cloud-init limited scope support, it
does not pass the cloud-init into the image as-is, but rather converts
it into individual actions referred as Custom Spec in VMWare docs.
Only some fields are converted, the rest is unused. It does not accept
"call home" wget/curl call therefore VMWare VMs initialized with
cloud-init stays in build mode forever. This is known limitation.
