vmware: Fix problems with VIM API retry logic

Currently the VIM APIs including session creation API are retried for
cases which are unrelated to connection or session overload problems.
This change fix the retry logic as follows:
* Add an exception to indicate connection problem and raise it
  appropriately from the VIM API client
* Modify the expected exceptions in the retry decorator to include
  only connection and session overload related exceptions

This change also fixes the base class of VimFaultException
(VolumeBackendAPIException -> VimException). This change is required
so that we can handle the exceptions thrown by the VIM API client in
a consistent manner. Currently if we need to handle VIM API related
exceptions, we have to catch both VimException and VimFaultException.
For example, the API for checking active session raises
VimFaultException in some cases and we are handling only VimException.
Due to this, when session expires, the session re-establishment and API
retry fails (intermittently) since the check for active session throws
VimFaultException in some cases which is not handled.
