Allow option to snapshot VM memory

Ideas

Description:
When creating a VM snapshot in Morpheus, add a checkbox to allow the snapshot to include VM memory and avoid having to power down the VM to restore the snapshot. Alternatively, set an option somewhere within the admin/configuration settings for the cloud connection to make all snapshots include memory by default.

Example/Use case(s):
This is a frequently-used option when taking snapshots via vCenter, and is a trivial change within the API request from memory: false to memory: true.

The proposed workaround by the support team to create PowerCLI scripts to achieve this is neither user-friendly or intuitive for end users.

I think this should be an option on a per-snapshot basis rather than a global cloud setting. There are probably just as many good reasons one may not want to include memory in the snapshot as there are to include.
