Libguestfs - Nov 2018 - [PATCH 0/2] v2v: uninstall the VMware Tools from Windows guests

It seems newer versions of VMware Tools for Windows can be uninstalled
also when the guest does not run on VMware anymore.  Hence, attempt to
uninstall them during a conversion, reusing the same code already used
to uninstall Parallel Tools.

This was tested with the following Windows guests:
- Windows 2008r2
- Windows 2012r2
- Windows 2016
- Windows 7
- Windows 8
- Windows 10

Turn the code for 'prltools_uninsts' into an helper function
'unistallation_commands', so that can be used also for other
applications installed.

It looks like VMware Tools support their unattended uninstallation even
after the guest is not running anymore on VMware.

Looks like a straightforward refactoring, so ACK.
