    @nvazquez I would like to get this PR merged for 4.10.0.0.  Could you please rebase this PR to pull the latest Marvin enhancements/fixes?  Once that is done, I will kick off a regression test in preparation to merge it.

> h2. Introduction
> It is desired to support nested virtualization at VM level for VMware hypervisor. Current behaviour supports enabling/desabling global nested virtualization by modifying global config {{'vmware.nested.virtualization'}}. It is wished to improve this feature, having control at VM level instead of a global control only.
> h2. Proposal
> A new global configuration is added, to enable/disable VM nested virtualization control: {{'vmware.nested.virtualization.perVM'}}. Default value=false
> h2. Behaviour
> After a vm deployment or start command, vm params include {{nestedVirtualizationFlag}} key and its value is:
> * true -> nested virtualization enabled
> * false -> nested virtualization disabled
> We will determinate nested virtualization enabled/disabled by examining:
> * (1) global configuration {{'vmware.nested.virtualization'}} value
> * (2) global configuration {{'vmware.nested.virtualization.perVM'}} value
> * (3) {{'nestedVirtualizationFlag'}} value in {{user_vm_details}} if present, null if not.
> Using this 3 values, there are different use cases:
> # (1) = TRUE, (2) = TRUE, (3) is null -> ENABLED
> # (1) = TRUE, (2) = TRUE, (3) = TRUE -> ENABLED
> # (1) = TRUE, (2) = TRUE, (3) = FALSE -> DISABLED
> # (1) = TRUE, (2) = FALSE -> ENABLED
> # (1) = FALSE, (2) = TRUE, (3) is null -> DISABLED
> # (1) = FALSE, (2) = TRUE, (3) = TRUE -> ENABLED
> # (1) = FALSE, (2) = TRUE, (3) = FALSE -> DISABLED
> # (1) = FALSE, (2) = FALSE -> DISABLED
