Description

When creating a VM from template via clone in terraform and using a datastore_cluster as the destination storage the disk provisioning settings are not correctly applied.

#2028 appears to have mostly fixed the problem for datastores(see my other issue) but the problem is still present when using a datastore cluster destination.

I have tested the following:

thin-template -> Request eager zero configured VM disk -> results in thin VM disk (Fail)
thin-template -> Request lazy zero configured VM disk -> results in thin VM disk (Fail)
thin-template -> Request thin configured VM disk -> results in thin VM disk (Pass)

lazy-zero-template -> Request eager zero configured VM disk -> results in lazy-zero VM disk (Fail)
lazy-zero-template -> Request lazy zero configured VM disk -> results in lazy-zero VM disk (Pass)
lazy-zero-template -> Request thin configured VM disk -> results in lazy-zero VM disk (Fail)

The Pass in my tests are a result of the source and destination settings matching. When attempting to use different disk settings than the source template they will not apply correctly.
