Add support for github.com/machine-drivers/docker-machine-driver-vmware

[LalatenduMohanty]

We should add support for https://github.com/machine-drivers/docker-machine-driver-vmware in Minishift. We already have the code for VMWare, so we need to check if it needs to change or update for this.

@LalatenduMohanty Problem is do we have the hardware to test those bits because it will go back to our CDK also?

[LalatenduMohanty]

@praveenkumar At this point I am only thinking about upstream Minishift project. Now that the driver plugin is for both VMWare workstation and Fusion, we can just test VMWare workstation and it can be installed on Linux and Windows. So yes we have the hardware.

@LalatenduMohanty I'd like to work on this for the next sprint.

[gbraad]

Please coordinate with @anfernee about remaining work and what is needed. Without this information we can not schedule this as a task.

@gbraad Will do, but am planning try out first if i am able to use that driver binary to start a vm by using docker-machine

[anjannath]

So, the driver can be used from the docker-machine binary and works fine.. i attempted to use it from minishift with the centos iso, but will need some changes in the driver side i think..

executing the vmrun command directly i get this error.. maybe the version of vmrun has changed the command syntax..

bash-4.3$ vmrun -gu docker -gp  directoryExistsInGuest /home/redhat/.minishift/profiles/avm/machines/avm/avm.vmx /var/lib/boot2docker
Error: Unrecognized command: /home/redhat/.minishift/profiles/avm/machines/avm/avm.vmx

With the b2d iso the ssh fails, and i don't see the creation of ssh key steps in the debug logs.
