Description
Hi,
When looking for a PoolResource by name, it appears that some characters are URL-encoded.
The PoolResource's name is DEV/TEST, but it appears in pyvmomi as DEV%2fTEST
I think there is some wring escaping happening there!

Research direction
Start by locating the PoolResource-by-name lookup and the pyvmomi serialization or escaping path that turns DEV/TEST into DEV%2fTEST. Reproduce the lookup with that name, then verify that the returned resource name remains correctly represented without unintended URL encoding.
