BACKWARDS INCOMPATABILITIES:

• HCL: builder/vsphere: Add option to add a xhci/usb3 controller; changes controller value to an array of strings. [GH-9574]
• HCL: New HCL-only post-processors block to run chained post-processors after a build [GH-9638]. Before this, defining multiple post-processor blocks after provisioning steps would run them sequentially, now doing this makes them start from the build artifact. To queue post-processors you now have to define them in a post-processors block. [GH-9638]
• post-processor/vSphere: We have fixed a bug in the ovftool URL encoding. This may mean that you have performed an encoding workaround that is no longer necessary. [GH-9589]
