IP prefix length warning

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

The docs mention this, and logs contain WARNING: IP prefix length of 'x.x.x.x/32' (vNIC 1 (x_NFW_3814) (vm)) does not match network prefix length 'x.x.x.x/24'

But the reported IP’s for VMWare virtual machines do not include a subnet, so IP’s collected from VMWare sources will always be /32, right? I don’t think there is a way for pyvmomi to retrieve the subnet for the IP’s of the vm’s, or am I wrong?
And as such, that warning will always be displayed.

Looks like this is already fixed in a more recent version. Tested on 11.1.5 and works fine there.
