use vmware_disktype="sparse", not vmware_disktype="preallocated"

Bug description:
I followed by OpenStack Configuration reference[1], download the cloud
image[2]

$ qemu-img convert -f qcow2 trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img -O
vmdk ubuntu.vmdk
and then use glance image-create command to upload image:
$ glance image-create --name "ubuntu-thick-scsi" --is-public True
--disk-format vmdk --container-format bare --property
vmware_adaptertype="lsiLogic" \
--property vmware_disktype="preallocated" --property

I created an instance in dashboard successful, But it failed to enter guest
system.
I doubt the instance does not have a controller to support scsi disk, when
using ide , instance runs well.
