CLOUDSTACK-6052: List VM enhancement to support querying with multiple VM IDs
Annotated the 'ids' parameter with "since = 4.4"

> Currently list VM can only be called using a single VM ID. So if there is a
> need to query a set of VMs using ID then either multiple list VM calls need
> to be made or all VMs needs to be fetched and then do a client side
> filtering. Both approaches are sub-optimal - the former results in multiple
> queries to database and the latter will be an overkill if you need a small
> subset from a very large number of VMs.
> The proposal is to have an additional parameter to specify a list of VM IDs
> for which the data needs to be fetched. Using this the required VMs can be
> queried in an efficient manner. With the new parameter the syntax would look
> like
> http://localhost:8096/api?command=listVirtualMachines&listAll=true&ids=eddac053-9b12-4d2e-acb7-233de2e98112,009966fc-4d7b-4f84-8609-254979ba0134
> The new 'ids' parameter will be mutually exclusive with the existing 'id'
> parameter.
