[OE-core] [Build App RFC 4/5] vmdk: Update for direstdisk

[Darren Hart]

The conversion to directdisk is necessary due to the limitation in the
mkdosfs version we carry and larger filesystems. Please note in the
commit message so readers can know WHY the change was made.

A development artifact I presume? No need to leave the old image type
commented out. Should probably also remove the comment as with
directdisk that is no longer the case - right?
