Added a packer template to generate lab VM on VMware using Ubuntu 16.04 as base. Made minor changes to bootstrap.sh to accomodate more recent Ubuntu release including installing extra packages required for Ubuntu 16.04 and to skip update of grub menu.lst, which no longer exists. Added preseed.cfg file to create sudo-enabled ubuntu account required for lab. Added README.md to document usage and edited top-level README.md to refer to VMware as well as AWS.

(Build procedure tested for both VMware as well as existing AMI packer script,
which is renamed but otherwise unchanged.)
