Add License Key info to vCenter object

It may not be a huge addition, but it would be nice to see LicenseKey as an attribute of vCenter in a way similar to the ESXi hosts "I.E. get-vmhost | select LicenseKey". The alternative is a good bit of get-view trickery with the LicenseManager.

Get-Log -Bundle without the coredump

Would be great if we could get the support bundle without the coredump included as we have TB of memory in our hosts and this inflates the size of the log file and makes it harder to send back to support.
