Display "Storage Controller" type of "NVMe" for VMware instances

Headline:
Display (and allow selection of) “Storage Controller” or related field type of “NVMe” for VMware instances


Description:
Right now, Morpheus will display the “Storage Controller” type field of “SCSI VMware Paravirtual” for hard drives using SCSI methods, but it doesn’t display any information for “NVMe” related hard drives.
Some of our admins would like to have that information available to track changes and just have full instance config visibility in a glance.
Also, when adding a drive it doesn’t appear there’s a way to allow a selection of the SCSI or NVMe under a Paravirtualized SCSI controller. It’d be nice if this was an option line NIC type is, that could be presented to someone provisioning an instance (and have controls/policies around which option types are available/selectable)


Example/Use case(s):
User goes to create a new instance
User adds a second drive, is presented with SCSI or NVMe as the drive type
User is able to create instance with a NVMe type drive as the 2nd disk on the system
When user pulls up said instance in Morpheus, the “STORAGE CONTROLLER” or related column field displays some indication of NVMe or a “MOUNT POINT” of NVME (1:0) sort of deal
