CloudStack volumes and templates are one single virtual disk in case of XenServer/XCP and KVM hypervisors since the files used for templates and volumes are virtual disks (VHD, QCOW2). However, VMware volumes and templates are in OVA format, which are archives that can contain a complete VM including multiple VMDKs and other files such as ISOs. And currently, Cloudstack only supports Template creation based on OVA files containing a single disk. If a user creates a template from a OVA file containing more than 1 disk and launches an instance using this template, only the first disk is attached to the new instance and other disks are ignored.
Similarly with uploaded volumes, attaching an uploaded volume that contains multiple disks to a VM will result in only one VMDK to being attached to the VM.

This behavior needs to be improved in VMWare to support OVA files with multiple disks for both uploaded volumes and templates. i.e. If a user creates a template from a OVA file containing more than 1 disk and launches an instance using this template, the first disk should be attached to the new instance as the ROOT disk and volumes should be created based on other VMDK disks in the OVA file and should be attached to the instance.

This commit includes three changes:
(1) Revert commit 13bf1ec5da9891eca98ef5dab61bf74b6db9530b to show the 'root disk size' field
(2) Set the default value from '1' to empty. This also changes the default value of customized service offerings from '1' to empty.
(3) show 'root disk size' field only when users choose a KVM template, as cloudstack supports deployvm with rootdisksize on KVM only.
CLOUDSTACK-8976 - Sorting of security groupsSimple change to sort the security groups in alphabetical order within the instance creation wizard.
This makes it much easier to find a security group when the user is presented with a long list.

For UI plugin development, add new event
'cloudStack.deployVirtualMachine'
-- This passes the wizard form data and all parameters that will be
passed to deployVirtualMachine; allows plugin to extend data to pass
additonal data automatically (i.e, custom form fields)
Adds front-end support to instance wizard UI for service offerings
supporting multiple disks.
The UI changes will show if a list 'multipleDisks: []' is passed with
the disk offering data options.
Added fields to /api and /server classes for CustomDiskOfferingMinSize
to be available in CapabilitiesResponse. Fixed UI code in Instance
Wizard to have this config value as the minimum selectable option when
we are in custom disk size mode.
