VMware: use correct script flags based on version

[dbirchak]

I see that vmtools.sh has been updated to use --force-install over --default.

Is the --force-install tied to a specific version of vmware-install.pl? I'm running VM Workstation 11.1 (VMware Tools 9.9.4 build-3193940)
builds fail with
/tmp/vmfusion-archive/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl --force-install;

Error
vmware-iso: + /tmp/vmfusion-archive/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl --force-install
vmware-iso: VMware Tools 9.9.4 build-3193940 for Linux installer
vmware-iso: Usage: /tmp/vmfusion-archive/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl
vmware-iso: [[-][-]d[efault]]
vmware-iso: default: Automatically answer questions with the proposed answer.

Successful with
/tmp/vmfusion-archive/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl --default;

Yes I think this changed in Workstation 12/Fusion 8, if you use an earlier version you have to revert to --default.

It's the new flag in VMware Tools 10.0+

It brakes compatibility with older pre 10.0.x VMWare Tools just FYI. Had the same issue until edited vmtools

We can and should fix this one.
