Cannot change server's zone from 'default'

[stacybrock]

Issue: On a brand-new deployment of the Botvinnik-RC1 vsphere OVA, attempting to change the zone of the first server deployed fails despite the UI indicating a successful change. NOTE: The zone of secondary servers spun up after the first can be changed.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Log in as an admin user and select Configure -> Configuration
2. Create a zone if one hasn't already been configured. (In this example, the zone is "OSU_SIG".)
3. Select the first server deployed (in this case, miq-bot-master) and change its zone from "default" to another zone.
4. Save.

(Note that the zone has not actually changed from "default" despite the value being correct in the zone dropdown.)

evm.log indicates success:

Config file has been changed:

[root@miq-bot-master config]# grep -i zone vmdb.yml.db
  timezone: Pacific Time (US & Canada)
  zone: OSU_SIG

But lo, the database has not:

bot_vmdb_production=# select id, name from zones;
 id |  name
----+---------
  1 | default
  3 | OSU_SIG
(2 rows)

bot_vmdb_production=# select id, name, zone_id from miq_servers;

----+-----------------+---------

Closing since this issue should be fixed in the Capablanca release.
