* The remotedisplay.vnc.ip vmx data key breaks ESXi, this commit prevents it
from being automatically added during VNC configuration when using the ESX5
driver.
* It can still be configured via the vmx_data section of the builder
template

Add support for using ctrl, shift and alt as key modifiers. So you can now achieve ctrl+c by using "<leftCtrlOn>c<leftCtrlOff>".
Updated documentation for new key stroke tokens.
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.
```
==> vmware-iso: Typing the boot command over VNC...
==> vmware-iso: Pausing after run of step 'boot_command[0]: <enter><wait>'. Press enter to continue.
==> vmware-iso: Pausing after run of step 'boot_command[1]: <enter><wait>'. Press enter to continue.
==> vmware-iso: Pausing after run of step 'boot_command[2]: freebsd-vagrant<enter><wait>'. Press enter to continue.
==> vmware-iso: Pausing after run of step 'boot_command[3]: <down><spacebar>'. Press enter to continue. ^C

Prevalidates hardware resources on Linux platforms for Virtualbox and
VMware builders. This is currently only available on Linux, as enabling
for both Darwin and Windows platforms, relies on cgo bindings that would
prevent effective cross-compilation.
Packer will now fail to build and validate templates if the template is
requesting that the VM to be created would allocate more system
resources than the host system has available.
This _however_ doesn't catch parallel builds that overflow the hosts
resources, will probably still need a better error message for VM's
failing to boot in that case.
Example Outputs:
```
$ $GOPATH/bin/packer build -debug ./vmware-iso.json
Debug mode enabled. Builds will not be parallelized.
vmware-iso output will be in this color.
2 error(s) occurred:
* Unavailable Resources: RAM - Requested - 204800000MB - Available 21721MB
* Unavailable Resources: Disk - Requested - 4000000000MB - Available 76701MB
```
```
$ $GOPATH/bin/packer build -debug ./vbox-iso.json
Debug mode enabled. Builds will not be parallelized.
virtualbox-iso output will be in this color.
2 error(s) occurred:
* Unavailable Resources: RAM - Requested - 10240000MB - Available 21721MB
* Unavailable Resources: Disk - Requested - 1000000000MB - Available 76701MB
```
* I suspect the logic written for checking if the vm has been destroyed is incorrect. The test will come back from the esx server indicating that the vm is gone as it should, but the logic I believe is reversed so we never hit the break in the if statement
* Feedback is MORE than welcome
If `format` option is configured, packer exports the VM with ovftool.

post-processor/vsphere: Enable to use `mitchellh.vmware-esx` artifact type and OVF and OVA formats, fixes#1457.
The ISO builders (parallels, qemu, virtualbox, and vmware) had too
much common code which needed to be maintained separately. This change
moves that code to a common ISO configuration.
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.
- Fixes#2574
- Reverts #2542

An additional client can be connected during build time for inspection.
We can manually connect and set our VNC clients to ignore all input or
we can connect with vnc2flv to record the build session for later
verification.
I exposed TargetPath as a config file option "target_path". I don't like
the name, but it follows the naming convention. The purpose of TargetPath
stands unmodified, and it enables a fair amount of customization.
When providing a hierarchical output_directory value like
'transient/jenkins-slave', the VM would fail to build in the CreateDisk
step. The properly created output directory would not match the location
provided to CreateDisk, since datastorePath() did not properly split such
paths. Now this case works; tested hierarchical and singular
output_directory values.
Fixes the following vet report:
builder/vmware/common/step_shutdown_test.go:130: missing argument for Fatalf("%s"): format reads arg 1, have only 0 args
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.
