Title: Add support for executing a program in the guest OS.

Use the vSphere 5.0 API call GuestProcessManager::StartProgramInGuest
to execute a program in a guest that has VMware Tools
installed. Currently only supports user/password authentication. Only
tested on Linux guests.

Hat-tip to Randy Van Fossan for pointing out the
need for this.
