Fix locating resourcepool-path specified in the vsphere.conf file

**What this PR does / why we need it**:
When volume is provisioned using the vsphere storage policy, `resourcepool-path` specified in the `vsphere.conf` file is used for creating a shadow/dummy VM.  Dummy VM is temporarily created and then deleted once volume is created on the compatible Datastore.

At present If user specifies `resourcepool-path` in the `vsphere.conf` file,  volume provisioner is not able to locate the compute resource for the given path. This is because look up is made using `finder.DefaultComputeResource(ctx)` and `finder.ComputeResource(ctx, computePath)`, which is not correct. If user specifies name of the cluster or cluster path then provisioning works.

This is resolved with using correct govmomi method - `func (f *Finder) ResourcePoolOrDefault(ctx context.Context, path string) (*object.ResourcePool, error)`


**Which issue(s) this PR fixes**
Fixes # https://github.com/vmware/kubernetes/issues/493

**Special notes for your reviewer**:
Following testing is performed for this change.

1) specified resource-pool path in the `vsphere.conf` file and verified VM is created under the specified resource pool.

```
resourcepool-path="ClusterFolder-1/cluster-vsan-1/Resources/ShadowVMPool"
```

2) If resource pool is not available, specified cluster's default resource pool path in the `vsphere.conf` file and verified volume provisioning works. For this case, VM is directly created under cluster.

```
resourcepool-path="ClusterFolder-1/cluster-vsan-1/Resources"
```

3) Verified above with having multiple clusters with the same name in one datacenter.
4) Verified with empty resource pool path in the vsphere.conf file. 

```
resourcepool-path=""
```
As expected, provisioning is failing with `Failed to provision volume with StorageClass "vsan-gold-policy": no default resource pool found`.

Refer to this datacenter inventory for the path specified in the `resourcepool-path` configuration.

Current documentation describes `resourcepool-path`configuration is optional, which needs to be corrected once PR is merged. For policy based provisioning this is not an optional parameter.
