improve flexibility of Spectrum Protect Plus SLA association with Vcenter folders and vms

present SPP design limitation don't well support SLA association with Vcenter folders and vms simultaneously. the association operations on folders and vm under same folder may cause VM failed to be associated with expected SLA as expected.

customer Vcenter environment has created folders and vms within it with various backup priorities. so customer often need to associate SLAs to folder and part of vms within the folder both.

customer expects to improve SLA association with vcenter folder and vm integratedly well, so vm can be binded with expected SLA policies from folder inheritage or from vm level

    I reported in the case TS003741608, and PFE replied to me it's a design limitation. and advised me to try RFE when customer wasn't satisfied with this reply. In case you have no access to this case, I pasted detailed info as below. Thank you.

    ----------------------------
    I bound vcenter's directory"Discovered virtual machines" with sla policy "XXstandardpolicy". and then filter all vms related to this policy "XXstandardpolicy" . and selected all these vms and unmapped them with this policy. then go to this vcenter directory and found this policy still bound to this directory.( it work as design as PFE confirmed).
    anyway I deleted this binding. later I tried to bind this directory with same policy. although directory entry indicates it's bound to policy successfully, all vms under this directory didn't inherit this policy setting and hasn't bound to any policy. (PFE testify this operation and got same result.)
