The value of displayName is needed by later steps:
* When determining the IP address of the build VM
* When exporting the VM using ovftool
By default Packer will configure the VMX so `displayName` is equal to
the value defined for `vm_name` in the build template. However, it is
possible (and sometimes desirable) to set a custom value for
`displayName`.
Users can set a custom `displayName` through use of the `vmx_data`
option in their template.
Run now takes a context as well as a statebag. We'll assign the context
to the blank identifier to prevent namespace collisions. We'll let the
step authors opt-in to using the context.
`find . -iname "step_*.go" -exec gsed -i'' 's/func \(.*\)Run(/func \1Run(_ context.Context, /' {} \;`
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.
