Adds a mechanism in vSphere Cloud Provider to get credentials from Kubernetes secrets
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
Currently, vCenter credentials are stored in plain text in vsphere.conf. This PR adds a mechanism in vSphere Cloud Provider to get vCenter credentials from Kubernetes secrets.

**Special notes for your reviewer**:

**Workflow:**
1. Create vsphere.conf file with ```secret-name``` and ```secret-namespace```.
```
[Global]
insecure-flag = 1
secret-name = "vcconf"
secret-namespace = "kube-system"
[VirtualCenter "10.160.45.119"]
port = 443
datacenters = k8s-dc-1
[Workspace]
server = 10.160.45.119
datacenter = k8s-dc-1
default-datastore = sharedVMFS-0
folder = Discovered virtual machine
```
2. Launch Kubernetes cluster with vSphere Cloud Provider Configured.
3. Create secret with vCenter credentials.
a. Create base64 encoding for username and password:
username:
```
> echo -n 'admin' | base64
YWRtaW4=
```
password:
```
> echo -n 'vsphere' | base64
dnNwaGVyZQ==
```
b. kubectl create -f vccredentials.yaml
```
#vccredentials.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: vcconf
type: Opaque
data:
10.192.44.199.username: YWRtaW4=
10.192.44.199.password: dnNwaGVyZQ==
```
4. vSphere Cloud Provider can be used now.
**Note:**
Secrets info can be provided with both (old and new) vSphere Cloud provider configuration formats.
**Tests Done:**
- [x] vSphere Cloud Provider unit test.
- [x] Volume lifecyle with Username and Password in vsphere.conf (for backward compability)
- [x] Volume lifecyle with secrets information in vsphere.conf.
- [x] Update secrets workflow
**Release note**:
