The docs don't mention any requirement for Linux guests to be running
a hyper-v KVP daemon. This can cause a potentially long wait before
timing out and failing a build.
(Knowing this up front could also help new packer users - and save a
large potential amount of searching for the appropriate solution)
* removed packer.Cache and references since packer.Cache is never used except in the download step. The download step now uses the new func packer.CachePath(targetPath) for this, the behavior is the same.
* removed download code from packer that was reimplemented into the go-getter library: progress bar, http download restart, checksuming from file, skip already downloaded files, symlinking, make a download cancellable by context.
* on windows if packer is running without symlinking rights and we are getting a local file, the file will be copied instead to avoid errors.
* added unit tests for step_download that are now CI tested on windows, mac & linux.
* files are now downloaded under cache dir `sha1(filename + "?checksum=" + checksum) + file_extension`
* since the output dir is based on the source url and the checksum, when the checksum fails, the file is auto deleted.
* a download file is protected and locked by a file lock,
* updated docs
* updated go modules and vendors
vmconnect.exe comes as part of Hyper-V and is the tool used by Hyper-V Manager to connect with a virtual machine. This commits sets behaviour the same as virtualbox and vmware to display the virtual machine connection unless headless is set in the template.
