Need a separate variable for manager, controller, edge VM names and prefix

[nvpnathan]

The ability to specify a prefix for controllers and edge that is separate from the FQDN. NSX manager does not have this variable at all. The controllers work for the prefix, but I should be able to specify a different FQDN. The edges append example.com so it's not uniform at all across the board.

Example of VM names in vCenter.
nsxt-manager
vlab-ctrl-1
vlab-edge-1.example.com
vlab-edge-2.example.com

We do have a param for NSX manager hostname prefix: nsx_manager_assigned_hostname. Perhaps we should rename it to nsx_manager_hostname_prefix? Or are you asking that manager VM name should be the same as manager's hostname prefix?

The reason fqdn is used as edge vm name is to workaround unusual cases when edge vm registers with manager itself. That operation uses vm name as the hostname and manager rejects the request if the vm name is not the hostname.

@kais66 the fqdn though should not show up in the vCenter inventory (VM name)
