feat: NAPALM drivers for VMware ESXi and vCenter

Two drivers from one package, both in the hypervisor role:

- vmware_esxi talks to one host directly: facts, vmnics and vmkernel
  NICs, CDP/LLDP neighbours, sensors, VMs, datastores and port groups.
- vmware_vcenter talks to a vCenter: every VM of every host it manages,
  with the host as the VM's node, plus distributed port groups. It
  reports no interfaces of its own; the hosts' NICs belong to the hosts.

Both implement the HypervisorDriver VM contract: get_vms, get_vm_config,
start/stop/reboot/suspend_vm and the four snapshot methods, and emit raw
device warnings (maintenance mode, disconnected host, config issues,
host managed by a vCenter, free license making the API read-only).

Every read is a PropertyCollector query for the explicit paths in
paths.py, converted by to_plain() into dicts and lists; the parsers
only ever see that. tools/harvest.py dumps exactly those paths to JSON
and tools/sanitize.py scrubs the dump, so a real host can become a test
fixture without code changes. A VM's vmid is its instance UUID, which
survives vMotion and re-registration; a MoRef does not.

Tested against govmomi's vcsim in ESXi and vCenter mode, including real
power and snapshot tasks. Not yet tested against real hardware.

"""The vSphere property paths the drivers read, per managed object type.
Single source of truth for both the drivers and ``tools/harvest.py``: a
fixture harvested from a real host contains exactly what the parsers are
later fed, no more and no less. Adding a path here is the first step of
adding a field to any getter.
