⚠️ BREAKING

Support returning DS info when resolving lib stor [aa8279b5]: This change updates the signature for the ResolveLibraryItemStorage function.

Signed-off-by: akutz <akutz@vmware.com>

Support DC for ResolveLibItemStor [64ca62fe]: This change requires updating the use of the ResolveLibraryItemStorage function to account for its signature change.

Support OVF ResourceType enum [e9f9eb04]: Users of the ovf package may need to cast ResourceType to a uint16 depending on how they have used the value.

Signed-off-by: akutz <akutz@vmware.com>

Update OVF parser to conform to spec [42bf8130]: Users of the ovf package will need to update their sources to conform to the changes from this patch. It should be a fairly simple change.

move cli/host/esxcli.Command to cli/esx package [05482c0b]: Package "github.com/vmware/govmomi/govc/host/esxcli" is now "github.com/vmware/govmomi/cli/esx" A 'context.Context' param has also been added to the package's methods. See cli/esx/example_test.go for usage.

Move govc commands into cli pkg [7e178857]: All packages ./govc/* (except ./govc/test) have been relocated under the ./cli package.

Minimum version selection [538dbef1]: The go install command may no longer be used to install govc and vcsim directly from GitHub.

This is because both packages are now distinct sub-modules that still depend on the other packages in this project. Therefore these sub-mods use the following replace directive:

replace github.com/vmware/govmomi -> ../

This teaches govc and vcsim where to look for the imported GoVmomi packages. This ensures that building these binaries will pick up any local changes to the rest of the project.

However, the go install command does not support installing modules from a remote location if the module contains a replace directive. This means users will need to either clone all of github.com/vmware/govmomi before running go -C govc install or go -C vcsim install, or they can download the released binaries directly.
