Title: Documenting need to disable snapshots on vcloud cpi

Documenting need to disable snapshots on vcloud cpi + how to reduce vm creation rate

vcloud cpi does not yet supports snapshots. https://github.com/vchs/bosh_vcloud_cpi/blob/master/spec/unit/vcloud_spec.rb#L8
Snapshots are disabled by default. Enabling them explicitly as suggested previously breaks jobs restarts on bosh multi vms

```
