    vm-creator: Ensure VM name is <= 15 characters long
    
    Commit 4dd0b75 put variant id into the VM names (and therefore
    hostnames) to make it more likely to assign a meaningful name to VMs but
    it also broke express installation for OSs with variants name that are
    long and have very strict restrictions on number of characters in
    hostnames, e.g win7 professional.
    
    This patch fixes express installation of such OSes by ensuring that VM
    name is not longer than 15 characters.
