Title:
  [VMWare Driver] When cluster name contains special characters like
  "/", the cluster can not be found

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  In Progress
Status in oslo.vmware:
  New

Bug description:
  
  How to reprodue:
  1) In vcenter,  change the cluster name into "cluster01/1"
  2) Change nova.conf
  cluster_name=cluster01/1
  3) Start nova-compute service, we will get following error logs:

  Reason:
  The VSphere API get the cluster name as a URI string. So the "/" will be transitioned into "%2f". So we can not fetch the cluster MOR by a cluster name "cluster01/1". If we change nova.conf to set cluster_name as "cluster01%2f1", it will be OK. But this is not user friendly.
