This option allows to set the extension of the ISO file after download.
Defaults to "iso". It makes sense for building Mac OS X guests, where the
bootable image is actually a DMG, not an ISO.
In particular, it is important for "parallels-iso" builder to set the right extension.
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.
* 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

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.
