Create plugin to monitor age of VM templates

[atc0005]

Overview

Having a plugin that monitors VM templates for last modification date could be useful to identify templates that have gone stale.

PowerCLI returns virtual machine templates via the Get-Template cmdlet, but from what I can tell templates are returned alongside VMs when retrieving using the govmomi library.

Maybe warning at 12 months, critical at 24 months?

I've not checked returned properties yet to determine how easy it is to determine last modification date.
