- In order to keep the integration with `ansible-test`, we prefer to avoid any
interaction with the Ansible inventory file.
- split up the prepare_vmware_tests/defaults/main.yml in two
configuration files: one for vcsim and one for a real environment
- remove all the access to hostvars
- directly interact with the ESXi to mount/umount the datastore
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/56516
- record the virtual machine folder in the environment configuration
- vmware_guest_move: Use https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/55237
Refactoring of the following roles to make use of the new
`prepare_vmware_tests` role.
- `vmware_guest`
- `vmware_guest_boot_facts`
- `vmware_guest_custom_attribute_defs`
- `vmware_guest_customization_facts`
- `vmware_guest_disk_facts`
- `vmware_guest_facts`
- `vmware_guest_find`
- `vmware_guest_move`
- `vmware_guest_powerstate`
- `vmware_guest_snapshot`
- `vmware_guest_snapshot_facts`
- `vmware_guest_tools_wait`
