hw/i386/vmport: Introduce vmware-vmx-version property
vmware-vmx-version is a number returned from CMD_GETVERSION which specifies to guest VMware Tools the the host VMX version. If the host reports a number that is different than what the guest VMware Tools expects, it may force guest to upgrade VMware Tools. (See comment above VERSION_MAGIC and VmCheck_IsVirtualWorld() function in open-vm-tools open-source code). For better readability and allow maintaining compatability for guests which may expect different vmware-vmx-version, make vmware-vmx-version a VMPort object property. This would allow user to control it's value via "-global vmport.vmware-vmx-version=X".
