[VMware] change default max wait time to 15s (#774)
If cloud-init is enabled on VMware platform, cloud-init will wait until its configuration file is ready and currently the max wait is 90 seconds by default. With our test, this configuration file should be ready within 1 second, so change it to 15 seconds for better performance. Also update the documentation about how to change the default value in cloud-init configuration file.
