VMware: Avoid misleading PyVmomi error if requests import fails (#47313)

Browse source 
* Avoid misleading PyVmomi error if requests import fails

Requests is imported by the VMware module_utils as an external
dependency; however, because it is in a try/catch block containing the
imports for PyVmomi, if requests fails to import properly, Ansible will
instead complain about PyVmomi not being installed.

By moving the import outside of the try/catch block, if requests fails
to import, an error like the following will be returned:

    ImportError: No module named requests

This should result in less confusion.

* catch requests ImportError
