The NVRAM of VMs is now backed up and restored when a VM is recreated. This ensures that EFI enabled VMs will boot successfully.

Additionally, the exception handling and error messages in the functions connect_vmware() and retrieve_vcthumbprint() were enhanced.

The plugin now makes sure to store all files belonging to a recreated VM in the same directory in VMFS.

This commit also contains some changes to improve the pylint score.
