When the "ievms" control ISO is attached, we want the VM to boot off of it. Some of the MS VMs don't have the DVD set as the default boot drive, so make sure this is configured before we try to boot off the ISO. I noticed that (at least) the Win10 VM wouldn't boot to the control ISO.
This change adds a 4th argument to copy_to_vm which takes the windows version. I've noticed that the Win10 VM will assign drive letter "D" to the shared folder, while the other VMs will all assign drive letter "Z". Both of these differ from older behavior that used drive letter "E". I suspect that a "net use" command could be added into the script to force this to be S: for all VMs or something.

This includes two commits that I've consistently had to make to my environments. Attempt to fix issue where drive letters in copy_to_vm are different than the windows configurations, and also fix the case where the "control ISO" won't boot in the VM because the DVD is not always the first boot device.
