Internal error in vmware_guest (required and default are mutually exclusive for datacenter)

[Takeshi Kuramochi]

Hi all,

I use ansible v2.3.

when I tried to create from vm template by using vmware_guest module,
I saw an internal error below;

These changes appear to have broken the ability to deploy via this module. I am getting the following error after this commit:

fatal: [vm01]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Module alias error: internal error: required and default are mutually exclusive for datacenter"}

Backing out this change has restored functionality.
