Research direction

Start by reproducing deployment of a new VM on an ESXi host with Ansible 2.9.13 and vCenter 6.5, using the vmware_guest static-IP configuration. Done means the newly deployed VM receives the requested static IP; the issue provides no file or test location, so the relevant integration path must be located first.
