* Fixup the property collection for dictionaries vs. objects
* Remove debug lines
* Do not attempt to sort because it's a waste
* Remove unused code
* Remove extra code

use inkey attribute in _process_object_types recursive loop to generate key name in skip_keys directive.
This permit to ignore nested variables, for example summary.vm to optimize inventory collect
* vmware_inventory: permit to group by custom field
This permits to create instances, affect some custom fields like EC2 tags and then retrieve groups from custom fields like EC2 inventory
* vmware_inventory: Customize skip_keys & add resourceconfig to skip_keys
Verify if customfield is a str before processing custom fields for a host
* Fix many points reported by PyCharm as PEP 8 code style

* Declare some class variables properly
* Remove some unused variables
* Add documentation in vmware_inventory.ini for VMWARE_USERNAME & VMWARE_PASSWORD env vars
* vmware_inventory: fix the --host option
* Fix skip_key evaluation
* Short circuit deep dives in datastores and resourcegroups
* Put timestamps in the debug output and add a few more
* Implement a user defined proplist to increase performance
* Make all props into dicts
* Update ini with example
* Fix tests
* vmware_inventory script improvements
* switch instance finding method to use containerview based searches
* overhaul the serialization method for objects
* Cleanup the debug outputs
* Add a warning about performance
* Fix broken indentation in vmware inventory
* Allow script to be a symlink without breaking ini path.
