This commit adds a configuration endpoint to the vmpooler API. Pool
size, and pool template, can be adjusted for pools that are configured
at vmpooler application start time. Pool template changes trigger a pool
refresh, and the new template has delta disks created automatically by
vmpooler.
Additionally, the capability to create template delta disks is added to
the vsphere provider, and this is implemented to ensure that templates
have delta disks created at application start time.
The mechanism used to find template VM objects is simplified to make the flow of logic easier to understand. As an additional benefit, performance of this lookup is improved by using FindByInventoryPath.

Previously, there were two ways to configure Vmpooler, either by
changing the contents of vmpooler.yaml or by assigning the raw YAML
to the VMPOOLER_CONFIG environment variable. This commit adds a new
environment variable called VMPOOLER_CONFIG_FILE that can be assigned
the name of a config file to use. Also fixes#240 by whitelisting the
Symbol class when calling YAML.safe_load in Vmpooler.config.
This commit adds documentation for how to setup a development environment for
VM Pooler. This commit also moves the API under the new docs directory and
modifies the README appropriately.
