Add support for vsphere

[rsysadmin-com]

A Google search shows several articles about using terraformer with vSphere; e.g.: https://dev.to/irlan_dossantos_9c6c1c92/using-terraformer-to-import-and-manage-vmware-infrastructure-with-terraform-and-aws-backup-strategy-58c4

...but "vsphere" is nowhere to be found under the "Available Commands"...

When you're at it, can you also import templates? :-)

Thanks a lot in advance!

I am also here after this article. Is it possible to import VMware Infrastructure by Terraformer?

I've also seen another similar project: https://github.com/cycloidio/terracognita - which, like Terraformer, seems to be abandoned some time ago, and also doesn't support vSphere.

I then found govc: https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/tree/main/govc

With govc you can extract a JSON file for each VM on your vCenter, so I wrote a simple-but-long Bash script to extract the needed values from that JSON file (long live jq ! ) and generate Terrafom files for my VMs.
