Description

Create some simple sample that addresses requests like https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi/issues/22

And formalizes...

# executes /bin/touch /tmp/hello.txt
cmdspec = pyVmomi.vim.vm.guest.ProcessManager.ProgramSpec(arguments='/tmp/hello.txt', programPath='/bin/touch')

# cmdoutput returns a pid
cmdoutput = si.content.guestOperationsManager.processManager.StartProgramInGuest(vm=vm, auth=creds, spec=cmdspec)

Research direction
Implement a sample script for guest operations as described in the issue. The sample should use pyVmomi's vim.vm.guest.ProcessManager to start a program in the guest. Reference the existing code snippet in the issue body and ensure compatibility with the pyvmomi library. No linked pull requests exist; the sample should be added to the repository.
