Add optional boot.cfg key value pairs

If specified, sets additional key=value pairs to be injected in to the ESXi boot.cfg file. The boot configuration file used by ESXi sets simple text based keys and associated values to control the installation options from the ISO contents.

It may be necessary to add additional boot key and value pairs in the boot.cfg template for a system to successfully install on a given platform. This Param can be used to add in extra options to the file.

To use it, simply set the Param string value to appropriate key and value pairs, separate by newlines, like:

key1=value1
key2=value2

IT IS IMPORTANT that you insert a newline between key=value pairs.
