Allow XVA builder to use templates already on XenCenter

[dongyuzheng]

Set source_template in config rather than source_path

Use case: Build from Windows XVA, which can be very big. This can dramatically decrease build time.

Hello @dongyuzheng Is there a way i could get this fix of yours? This is a very useful fix and i did like this to be merged into the master branch of packer-builder-xenserver. Do you have any other branch from where i could consume your fixes?

Please let me know.

Hi @kirannhegde,

Here's the most up-to-date fork containing all of my changes + more:

https://github.com/ctlam/packer-builder-xenserver

You'll have to build it yourself.

Let me know if you run into any issues.

Thanks, Gary

Hello @dongyuzheng Thanks. Much appreciated. Does the above repo contain all the changes from the official packer-builder-xenserver repository?

@kirannhegde: Not that I know of. Feel free to fork it and pull in the changes yourself.

I don't understand why the authors never look at my PRs. Cough cough @rdobson
