vmware: use hostname in esxi_hostname

The use of the `hostvars[esxi1].ansible_host` was attempt to use different hostname and IP address. But it's actually the source of more problems. VMware expects to be able to resolvable the host name. This means, that if someone wants to run the test-suite, s/he needs to use a DNS or update the `/etc/hosts` files on the different hosts.
