VMware Tags support in SPP

Current VMware Tags support in SPP need to be enhanced so customer can control backups with VMware Tags.

GUI Enhancements:
SPP GUI need to show VMs added to a policy with a VMware Tag under Hypervisor/Backup/<vCenter>/SLA Policy, similar to if the VM has been added to a policy from SPP Gui
SPP GUI also need to show configured options

Missing Tags (All options):
Bind a VMware Tag to an existing user/password
Catalog file metadata (could possibly be one tag for “index files with this user”)
Make VM snapshot application/file system consistent
Exclude VM via Tag (If VMs are added on VMfolder level for example)
Truncate SQL logs
VM Snapshot retry attempts
VADP Proxy
