Expected Behavior

Adding the ability to specify a host device for a cd rom drive, right now, the vmware provider allows for specifying a datastore iso OR a client device (device via the vsphere ui). It would be useful to allow specifying devices that are directly connected to the host the vm lives on.

Actual Behavior

Only isos and a remote client device is available.

Steps to Reproduce

Have a host machine with a cd drive. Create a vm with a cd/dvd drive:

Important Factoids

I suppose this isn't a super common request, but it is useful to be able to manage a homelab with terraform to ensure consistent behavior. In this example, having a host cd device would allow for example use cases such as a automatic ripping machine when a cd or dvd is inserted.
