  <description>This update for open-vm-tools fixes the following issues:

- Added Handle Linux kernel /proc FS uint32 type stat overflow when calculating. (bsc#1110793)
  On both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux, tools always parses Linux kernel /proc
  FS stats as uint64 values.  For rate stats, current - previous can handle
  uint64 type stat overflow, but not uint32 type.
- Optional override for short and long OS names sent from Tools. (bsc#1047469)
  Added support for customers to override the returned long and short OS
  names through the tools config file. If the setting is present, then names
  gathered by hostinfo will be ignored. The user is responsible for setting
  the appropriate names.
- Workaround for false negative result when detecting cloud-init existance. (bsc#1111619)
  "cloud-init -v" cmd is used to detect if cloud-init is properly configured
  and it works on most linux distros. However in some linux distro like
  Amazon Linux 2, "cloud-init -v" will print result to stderr instead of
  stdout and it makes "forkExecAndWaitCommand" give false negative result.
  1. added a new bool switch in  "ForkExecAndWaitCommand" to choose
    if we should ignore the stderr output when the return code is 0
  2. removed unnecessary reference for "ForkExecAndWaitCommand" in
    linuxDeploymentUtilities.c
  3. trivial change for some formatting
