##### SUMMARY
<!-- Explain the problem/feature briefly -->
Using parameter extraconfig in deployVirtualMachine and updateVirtualMachine
does not update 'platform' field
##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
<!--
For bugs, show exactly how to reproduce the problem, using a minimal
test-case. Use Screenshots if accurate.
For new features, show how the feature would be used.
-->
<!-- Paste example playbooks or commands between quotes below -->
~~~
Using cloudmonkey create new instance on the XCP-NG hypervisor with added
extra argument platform:exp-nested=true which enables nested virtualization.
The value is UTF8 encoded as required by the command.
```
deploy virtualmachine templateid=b2b4c2ac-60a4-4bb0-9bb6-59cb28e793de
name=test_nested networkids=1dfcc69a-1072-4410-881d-3818a75bcce8
displayname=test_nested domainid=05b38e5c-8041-11ed-a10f-d214862adf28
serviceofferingid=67e9d5bb-ed5d-4d97-9766-cc488de233a3
zoneid=6130f25a-8dd4-469c-8964-45b2d401884d details[0].cpuNumber=2
details[0].memory=2048 extraconfig=platform%3Aexp-nested-hvm%3Dtrue
```
The issue is also valid for using update command on existing vm instance.
```
update virtualmachine id=4d188b3b-e3cd-4920-b33c-cdb502d6478d
extraconfig=platform%3Aexp-nested-hvm%3Dtrue
```
The current workaround is using **details** argument. The problem is that
the value overwrites the existing settings instead of appending. Unfortunately
I have not found a better solution.
```
deploy virtualmachine templateid=b2b4c2ac-60a4-4bb0-9bb6-59cb28e793de
name=test_nested networkids=1dfcc69a-1072-4410-881d-3818a75bcce8
displayname=test_nested domainid=05b38e5c-8041-11ed-a10f-d214862adf28
serviceofferingid=67e9d5bb-ed5d-4d97-9766-cc488de233a3
zoneid=6130f25a-8dd4-469c-8964-45b2d401884d details[0].cpuNumber=2
details[0].memory=2048
details[0].platform="device-model:qemu-upstream-compat;vga:std;videoram:8;apic:true;viridian:false;timeoffset:0;pae:true;acpi:1;hpet:true;secureboot:false;nx:true;exp-nested-hvm:true"
update virtualmachine id=4d188b3b-e3cd-4920-b33c-cdb502d6478d
details[0].cpuNumber=2 details[0].memory=2048
details[0].platform="device-model:qemu-upstream-compat;vga:std;videoram:8;apic:true;viridian:false;timeoffset:0;pae:true;acpi:1;hpet:true;secureboot:false;nx:true;exp-nested-hvm:true"
```

##### EXPECTED RESULTS
<!-- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? -->
~~~
Expected result is to append the new keypair into the existing "platform"
variable.
```
"details": {
"cpuNumber": "2",
"memory": "2048",
"platform":
"device-model:qemu-upstream-compat;vga:std;videoram:8;apic:true;viridian:false;timeoffset:0;pae:true;acpi:1;hpet:true;secureboot:false;nx:true;exp-nested-hvm:true"
},
```
~~~
##### ACTUAL RESULTS
<!-- What actually happened? -->
<!-- Paste verbatim command output between quotes below -->
~~~
The output of this command shows that platform field is appended the new
parameter as it should per documentation, instead a new field called
extraconfig-1 is added.
"details": { "Message.ReservedCapacityFreed.Flag": "true",
"cpuNumber": "2",
"extraconfig-1": "platform:exp-nested-hvm=true",
"memory": "2048",
"platform":
"device-model:qemu-upstream-compat;vga:std;videoram:8;apic:true;viridian:false;timeoffset:0;pae:true;acpi:1;hpet:true;secureboot:false;nx:true"
},
