Get access to esx cli thru ansible, without patching ansible to not fail on grp and platform by placing modules on esx

This does not overcome fail of setup, which will rely heavily on platform, but it at least permits basic cli access. For example

# ansible -i inventory esx1 -u root -a '/bin/vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms'

#hosts:
[hv]
esx1
