PowerCLI script to prepare ESXi hosts for VCF

<# Written by Martin Gustafsson, mgustafsson (at) vmware.com
This is a script used to prepare ESXi hosts for VMware Cloud Foundation Deployments. 
It can be used for both the management domain and VI workload domains. 
It uses the ESXi hosts defined in C:\temp\esxlist.txt, one host per line.
The following is being configured:
Add the ESXi license
Start SSH and configure the policy to Start and Stop with the Host
Start NTP, configure the NTP source and set the policy to Start and stop with the Host
Configuring DNS servers, domain name and search domains.
Tag the portgroup "VM Network" with the same VLAN ID as the Management Network
Rename the local datastore to <short name>.local

This is based on the requirements as per our official documentation 
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/4.3/vcf-deploy/GUID-AE6C428A-8EEC-46F2-875B-FE57E1F03094.html
