Document live vCenter ATVM datastore selection

- map AutomatedTest-VMBootImg-Gold to gold and Gold-2 to gold-2
- require live vCenter placement checks for explicit VM lists
- stop mixed gold/gold-2 requests before planning ATVM runs
- return hostname-only datastore inventories by default
- tell the operator about the vCenter placement check before showing run commands
- clarify that repo inventory files are not the source of truth for current datastore membership

- Current VM membership for those datastores should be queried from live vCenter when needed, not stored as a maintained repo-side live reference list.
- ATVM datastore placement rule for explicit VM-list test requests:
- all requested VMs must resolve to one datastore family only
- do not run a mixed request spanning both `AutomatedTest-VMBootImg-Gold` and `AutomatedTest-VMBootImg-Gold-2`
- if the request is mixed, stop and report the per-datastore VM split so the operator can correct the list
- ESXi `192.168.1.165`:

This file is a broad ATVM VM reference snapshot.
For current membership on `AutomatedTest-VMBootImg-Gold` and `AutomatedTest-VMBootImg-Gold-2`, query live vCenter when selecting `gold` vs `gold-2` for an ATVM run.
