VCL-1025
Changed VMware VM naming convention to use an underscore instead of a colon.
This only affects the display name. Also removed the shared/dedicated part.
> Update naming convention for VMware VMs

> Key: VCL-1025
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-1025
> Project: VCL
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: vcld (backend)
> Reporter: Andy Kurth
> Assignee: Andy Kurth
> Fix For: 2.5
>
>
> The VMware ESXi 6.5 web console displays the following warning when editing a
> VM provisioned by VCL:
> {noformat}The virtual machine's name cannot contain double quote, colon or
> slash characters{noformat}
> The current naming convention is:
> <_computer.hostname_>*:*<_imagerevision.imagename_> (<_shared_>|<_dedicated_>)
> The colon can be replaced with an underscore. The shared/dedicated was added
> to be able to tell if a VM uses a shared virtual disk (linked clone) or a
> complete copy of an image was created for the VM. This isn't very useful.
> It would be useful to change the display name for VMs that are actively
> assigned to a reservation.
