[libvirt] VMware ESX: Allow leading dots in VMX config entry names

[Matthias Bolte <matthias.bolte@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

'.encoding = "UTF-8"' is a valid VMX config entry, so the
virConfParser must accept it in VMX mode. This patch lets the parser
accept those names with leading dots.

Regards,
  Matthias
