api: use CheckTestType in compat and provisioning checkers

Use the CheckTestType enum as the testType arg type instead of a string
in the VmCompatibilityChecker and VmProvisioningChecker functions.  The
req task structs end up getting auto generated using the string type so
we need to do a little unfortunate conversion.

Add check test type param to the govc commands
