Fix adds default 'vmware' section in configuration,
when this section is not found.
Fixes: #31549
Signed-off-by: Abhijeet Kasurde <akasurde@redhat.com>
This fix changes default value of host_filter in vmware_inventory.py
and vmware_inventory.ini to 'runtime.powerstate' from 'guest.gueststate'.
This change is added as 'guest.gueststate' requires vmware tools to be
installed on given VM, which may not be the case everytime.
