VMNetworkAdapter: Should support Device Naming and possibly other advanced options

[nyanhp]

Problem description

Currently, the resource VMNetworkAdapter does not allow configuration of advanced properties like Device Naming. Without device naming, additional DSC configurations inside the virtual machines are more complicated. While implementing this, other settings like MacAddressSpoofing etc. could be implemented as well.

I am not a Hyper-V expert, but I will at least add MacAddressSpoofing and DeviceNaming

Verbose logs

None, this is not implemented yet

DSC configuration

VMNetworkAdapter netty
{
  Id         = "$($node.NodeName)-$($nic.InterfaceAlias)"
  Name       = "$($node.NodeName)-$($nic.InterfaceAlias)"
  SwitchName = $nic.InterfaceAlias -replace '-en0'
  VMName     = $node.NodeName
  DependsOn  = "[VMHyperV]$($node.NodeName)"
}

Suggested solution

VMNetworkAdapter netty { Id = "$($node.NodeName)-$($nic.InterfaceAlias)" Name = "$($node.NodeName)-$($nic.InterfaceAlias)" SwitchName = $nic.InterfaceAlias -replace '-en0' VMName = $node.NodeName DependsOn = "[VMHyperV]$($node.NodeName)" DeviceNaming = "On" # On, Off }
