Description

config_spec.numCoresPerSocket should not allow to set invalid values

vcpus count is 3 allowed cores count should only be 1 or 3 (basically numbers with which vcpu count is divisible) but vim.vm.ConfigSpec() allows to set cores count as 2 (which is an invalid value for core)

vcpu = cores * sockets

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the pyVmomi source code to find where ConfigSpec is validated, specifically the numCoresPerSocket property. Determine how to add validation to ensure it is a divisor of vcpu count.
