shield Recommended update for open-vm-tools

SUSE-SLE-Module-Desktop-Applications-15-2018-2719

This update for open-vm-tools fixes the following issues: - Added Handle Linux kernel /proc FS uint32 type stat overflow when calculating. (bsc#1110793) On both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux, tools always parses Linux kernel /proc FS stats as uint64 values. For rate stats, current - previous can handle uint64 type stat overflow, but not uint32 type. - Optional override for short and long OS names sent from Tools. (bsc#1047469) Added support for customers to override the returned long and short OS names through the tools config file. If the setting is present, then names gathered by hostinfo will be ignored. The user is responsible for setting the appropriate names. - Workaround for false negative result when detecting cloud-init existance. (bsc#1111619) "cloud-init -v" cmd is used to detect if cloud-init is properly configured and it works on most linux distros. However in some linux distro like Amazon Linux 2, "cloud-init -v" will print result to stderr instead of stdout and it makes "forkExecAndWaitCommand" give false negative result. 1. added a new bool switch in "ForkExecAndWaitCommand" to choose if we should ignore the stderr output when the return code is 0 2. removed unnecessary reference for "ForkExecAndWaitCommand" in linuxDeploymentUtilities.c 3. trivial change for some formatting
