Vapp snapshot name is dropped from actual snapshot name seen in Vcenter

[KrisK201110141]

For VCloud director beta 5.1 when taking a vapp snapshot via the sdk the user-supplied name is attached to the internal name as a suffix.

However, with vcloud director release 5.1 it is NOT attached.

Since we use this supplied name to confirm we have the correct snapshot when doing a backup, our code no longer works.

For example, if I call the api with snapshot name MySnap I get:

user-vcd-snapshot-(a long number)-MySnap            with Vcloud beta 5.1

But I get:

user-vcd-snapshot-(a long number)-                          with Vcloud release5.1

That is, my supplied name is dropped and does not become part of the final name

The user supplied name is stored in the description of the snapshot, so you still get access to this from the vCenter API and UI. The approach was changed between beta and GA due to length restrictions of the name field as well as localization concerns.
