vmware_guest_find / option to stop after first match for saving time

[zenhighzer]

SUMMARY

Tell vmware_guest_find to stop after the first match

We use guest_find to determine the vms folder and pass the folder to vmware_guest_snapshot for creating and deleting vm snapshots. i know that there can be multiple vms with same "inventory-name" in vmware so it totally makes sense to crawl for all folders. But in our really big environment we only use each inventory-name only once, means that there is only one vm in one folder at the same time. so it would be nice to configure vmware_guest_find to stop after the first match. i.e.: "stop_after_first_match: true". This could help saving time
