Add 'uncommitted' field to the 'Datastore' class
The 'uncommitted' field is in official API, but not in our Datastore
class, we need it to compute the amount of provisioned space:
provisionedSpace = Capacity - freeSpace - uncommitted
So a `uncommitted` keyword argument has to be added to the Datastore
class.

Title:
RFE: Choose VMware datastore in dependence of the provisioned space
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
New
Status in oslo.vmware:
New
Bug description:
At the moment the _select_datastore method in the VMware driver
chooses the in dependence of the free space. The datastore with the
most free space will be chosen for a new instance.
On of our customers want to place new instances on the datastore with
the less provisioned space and not the one with the most free space.
The amount of provisioned space is not directly provided by the VMware
API and has to be calculated by using the capacity, the free space and
the uncommitted bytes of the datastore. provisionedSpace = Capacity -
freeSpace - uncommitted.
Following changes are necessary to support the selection of a
datastore in dependence of the provisioned space:
* The uncommitted property is not requested by the get_datastore
method. The get_datastore method hast to request the uncommitted
property.
* The Datastore class does not provide a keyword argument for the
amount of provisioned space. A provisioned space keyword argument has
to be added to the Datastore class.
* The _select_datastore method has to calculate the provisioned space
of a datastore.
* A new configuration parameter datastore_allocation_type with
'provisionedSpace' and 'freeSpace' as choices has to be introduced.
The default value should be 'freeSpace' to not change the default
behaviour of the _select_datastore method.
* When datastore_allocation_type is set to 'provisionedSpace' then
the provisionedSpace will be compared instead of the freeSpace and the
datastore with the lowest value for provisionedSpace will be chosen.
