ktest: Add example config for using VMware VMs

This duplicates the KVM/Qemu config with specific notes for how
to use it with VMware VMs on Workstation, Player, or Fusion.
The main thing to be aware of is how the serial port is exposed
which is a unix pipe, and will need something like ncat to get
into ktest's monitoring

+# This config is an example usage of ktest.pl with a vmware guest
+#
+# VMware Setup:
+# -------------
+# - Edit the Virtual Machine ("Edit virtual machine settings")
+# - Add a Serial Port
+#   - You almost certainly want it set "Connect at power on"
+#   - Select "Use socket (named pipe)"
+#   - Select a name that you'll recognize, like 'ktestserialpipe'
+#   - From: Server
+#   - To: A Virtual Machine
+#   - Save
+# - Make sure you note the name, it will be in the base directory of the
+#   virtual machine (where the "disks" are stored.  The default
+#   is /var/lib/vmware/<virtual machine name>/<the name you entered above>
+#
+# - Make note of the path to the VM
+# </End VMware setup>
+#
+# The guest is called 'Guest' and this would be something that
+# could be run on the host to test a virtual machine target.

+# Define a variable of the name of the VM
+# Noting this needs to be the name of the kmx file, and usually, the
+# name of the directory that it's in.  If the directory and name
+# differ change the VMWARE_VM_DIR accordingly.
+# Please ommit the .kmx extension

+# This is used by vmrun to use the appropriate appripriate pieces to
