[libvirt] [PATCH 06/13] esx: Extend vCenter query parameter

If an ESX host is managed by a vCenter, it knows the IP address of the
vCenter. Setting the vCenter query parameter to * allows to connect to the
vCenter known to an ESX host without the need to specify its IP address
or hostname explicitly.
