sub-project vmcreate v1.0 release

1. vmcreate is a tool that used to quickly start/create an VM instance of specified distro,
   instead reserve from beaker;

sudo curl -s -o /usr/local/bin/vm -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tcler/bkr-client-improved/master/utils/vmcreate
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/vm

vm Fedora-31
# or
vm RHEL-8.1.0 -p "vim git wget" -b "kernel-5.4.0-0.rc4.1.elrdy"
# or
vm centos-8 -l http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/ -p "vim gcc make"
# or
vm centos-7 -i https://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.qcow2.xz  -p "$pkgs"
# or
vm debian-10 -i https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/openstack/10.1.5-20191015/debian-10.1.5-20191015-openstack-amd64.qcow2 --force -p "curl tcl tclx tdom"

2. vmcreate could also be used to create your own VM image release

sudo curl -s -o /usr/local/bin/vm -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tcler/bkr-client-improved/master/utils/vmcreate
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/vm

vm RHEL-8.1.0 -genimage -p "vim git gcc"
# will generate qcow2.xz file in ~/myimages/RHEL-8.1.0/
