Description
##### SUMMARY
This module or maybe one similar needs the ability to similar to how its performed in vcenter.
I tried src: "ds://" to the path of the vm and just got an error
Failed to complete upload of OVF to vCenter: {messages :
[LocalizableMessage(id='vapi.bindings.method.impl.unexpected',
default_message='Provider method implementation threw unexpected exception:
com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.InternalServerError',
args=['com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.InternalServerError'], params=None,
localized=None)], data : None, error_type : INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR}
##### ISSUE TYPE

```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the vmware.vmware.import_content_library_ovf module and compare its current OVF upload behavior with the vCenter workflow described in the issue. Investigate how a VM can be cloned directly into a Content Library as an OVF, including the reported ds:// source error. Done means the module supports that workflow with documented usage and coverage for the new behavior.
