* Added 2 steps and screenshot on how to power on VM for both "player" and "preconf" docs.

* In the "preconf" doc -> Create and configure -> step 10, I changed "When you attach the pre-configured |CL| VMware image, VMWare removes the default virtual disk making this setting irrelevant" to "The disk settings do not matter at this stage because you will remove the default virtual disk and attach a pre-configured Clear Linux VMware image at a later step" because the former implies that VMware will do it automatically, but in fact, the user will manually remove the default virtual disk.
