Bug description:

  [Impact]

   * with groovy-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova daily build, when only deploy OVA and don't power on VM, the VMTools status is "toolsNotInstalled"
  But in fact, we have installed open-vm-tools.

  [Test Case]

   * build vmdk image and verify that buildlog now mentions emitting
  ddb.toolsVersion = "2147483647" field for the image. See
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-
  tools/+bug/1893898/comments/12

  [Regression Potential]

   * The change affects Vagrant / VMware ova/vmdk formatted images,
  which all use modify_vmdk_header function.
