Public bug reported:
## Summary
Add VMware-specific time synchronization handling during installation
## Problem
When installing Ubuntu in VMware VMs, users experience time zone issues due to:
- Conflicting time sync mechanisms (VMware Tools vs systemd-timesyncd)
- Incorrect RTC handling assumptions
- No automatic detection of virtualization during setup
## Solution
- Detect VMware environment during installation
- Configure appropriate time sync method based on environment
- Add user-friendly option in installer for VMware time handling
## Testing
- Tested on VMware Workstation 16/17
- Tested on VMware ESXi 7.0/8.0
- Verified with both BIOS and UEFI systems
- Tested with and without VMware Tools installed
