CLOUDSTACK-10107: For VMware VMs add devices without unit number (#2288)
When VMs are deployed or nics are plugged, using a static unit number
may cause device configuration errors. This fixes a previous limitation
that more than 7 nics/networks could not be added to a VM.
Per the API docs, `unitNumber` need not be set:

>
> The maximum number of NICs that a vSphere based virtual machine is 10 virtual
> NICs. However a
> CloudStack created Instance cannot start if there are greater than 7 NICs
> attached. More that 7 NICs can be
> attached via CloudStack if the VM is already running it is only the start
> process that fails if more than 7 NICs
> have been attached.
> If a VM has greater that 7 NICs a management server log message similar to
> the following is created:
> StartCommand failed due to Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException
> Message: Invalid configuration for device '10'.
> java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid configuration for device '10'.
> The vpxd.log on the vCenter shows:
> ‐‐> Result:
> ‐‐> (vim.fault.InvalidDeviceSpec) {
> ‐‐> faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null,
> ‐‐> faultMessage = <unset>,
> ‐‐> property = "unitNumber",
> ‐‐> deviceIndex = 10
> ‐‐> msg = "Invalid configuration for device '10'."
