This commit adds a new option, `vmx_remove_ethernet_interfaces`, to both
of the VMWare builders. This is useful when building Vagrant boxes,
since Vagrant now produces output such as:
```
WARNING: The VMX file for this box contains a setting that is
automatically overwritten by Vagrant when started. Vagrant will stop
overwriting this setting in an upcoming release which may pre vent
proper networking setup. Below is the detected VMX setting:
ethernet0.pcislotnumber = "33"
If networking fails to properly configure, it may require this VMX
setting. It can be manually applied via the Vagrantfile:
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.provider :vmware_fusion do |vmware|
vmware.vmx["ethernet0.pcislotnumber"] = "33"
end
end
```
This can be avoided entirely by removing the ethernet adapters from the
VMX file prior to packaging as a Vagrant box, in which case adapters are
created as expected according to the Vagrantfile specification.
Ensure that all builders include FloppyDirectories in the StepCreateFloppy options.
Changed the way the unit-tests in common/step_create_floppy_test work to use the static test-fixtures directory instead of creating the paths dynamically.
Removed a duplicate line of documentation from parallels-pvm.html.md that occurred during rebasing.
Moved the support for recursive paths from the floppy_files keyword to the new floppy_contents keyword.
Shifted some of the code around to add better logging of what's actually being copied.
Added a couple of unit-tests for the new floppy_contents implementation.
Ensured that all files that were being added were also being included in state.FilesAdded so that the older unit-tests will work.
When debugging a build (or maintaining an existing packer file), teach `packer build -debug` how to step through individual `boot_command`s in order to triage the packer file.

PR #2309 introduced case-sensitive options in VMX files. This is to support a case-sensitive option called `virtualSSD`. The change made all options case-sensitive, which causes problems with external VMX options provided in user templates. To prevent breakage, this change is being reverted.

Change the default behavior from requesting a PTY when executing a
command with the ssh communicator to requesting a PTY only when
configured to do so.
Update the vmware builders to be fully backward compatible with the new
behavior.
This commit fixes errors like this in the vsphere post-processor when using floppy files in the builder step:
Error: File (/var/folders/zl/57c1vmr532z_ryf1scw53_b9ycmxh7/T/packer964492999) could not be found
The configure VMX step re-adds the floppy files, so we need to configure the VMX and _then_ clean the VMX in that order.
