* Fixes a bug that caused the build to error if users did not
explicitly set `skip_compaction:true` when setting `skip_export:
true`. See #6392.
* Improves the efficiency of the compaction and export process by
reordering the compaction and export steps.
* Further improves the efficiency of the compacting step through
compacting the vmd* file directly rather than creating and then
operating on a copy.
* The changes mean the export process now stores the exported machine
files and folders under a folder with name 'vm_name' in the output
directory. Previously the exported machine files and folders were
stored directly in the output directory.
- Logging error if vmconnect.exe fails.
- Using StepRun struct rather than StateBag for command Cancel function
- Better handling in Disconnect when headless is true or vmconnect failed in Start
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.
To enable nested virtualization, mac spoofing, no dynamic memory and at least 4gb of ram should be set for the vm. Set warning if this has not been done.
Detected Virtualization Extensions are supported by the machine your are running on, as it only works for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 onwards.
Included the build step to download ISO, so iso_urls works properly now.
Online activation should be done via provisioner
Installation of integration services should be done via provisioner
Cleaned up the way dvd drives are mounted and unmounted (still need to implement feature to find unused drives before adding a new one)
Cleaned up the way floppies are mounted and unmounted
Setup local http server
Add compaction of hard drive
GetHostAdapterIpAddress function added for hyperv
renamed step step_start_vm to step_run to fall in ine with naming conventions of other builders
