    image-vmdk.bbclass: use sda rather than hda

    The modern kernels may not support IDE (CONFIG_IDE=y), but it should
    support SCSI in most of the cases. The boot-directdisk.bbclass uses
    sda, too.

    Remove an extra space from image-live.bbclass and image-vmdk.bbclass to
    not confuse the user.

changed

-SYSLINUX_ROOT = "root=/dev/hda2 "
+SYSLINUX_ROOT ?= "root=/dev/sda2"

but I see that linux-yocto ( 3.17) for qemu still expects /dev/hda2,
so I guess we also need to set this up in qemu machine conf to match
linux-yocto's expectation
