The AutomaticCheckpointsEnabled option may not always be available
depending on the version in use. Check for support before applying
the configured value. If automatic checkpoints are to be enabled
and support is not available, force an error.
Keep track of selected Hyper-V switch using the ID instead of name
to prevent any encoding issues that may occur switching between
PowerShell and Ruby. With the IDs staying consistent, the switch
name can be fetched from the provided ID.
Fixes#9679#8794#9451
If the guest address is unavailable via Hyper-V inspection, extract
MAC address of network adapters and check neighbor information for
any currently matching known address.
+ This disambuguates calls to the Hyper-V functions for the Hyper-V provider.
The ambiguity of some commands - such as `Get-VM` - causes the Hyper-V provider
to fail on systems where VMware PowerCLI is installed. This change ensures that
all calls to Hyper-V specific cmdlets or functions are prepended by `Hyper-V\`.
This ensures the correct cmdlet calls are being made.
+ Resolves #8862.
Powershell helper script now returns error when guest IP address
cannot be discovered. When reading addresses from a network
device both IPv4 and IPv6 are stored and the IPv4 address has
precedence on returned address.

It was failing to create files below the machines\default\hyperv folder, rather it was creating folders named 'hypervSnapshots', 'hypervVirtual Hard Disks', and 'hypervVirtual Machines'. This was causing the files to not be removed when destroying the vm, and an error when subsequently bringing it up again.
Implemented the differencing disk for vmcx.
This means the disk is now copied by Hyper-V (Powershell) instead of Ruby for new machines.
This does mean EFI Firmware now does work for machines since it is quite a feep copy. Compare-VM will report incompatibilities should they be found.
