[CentOS] open-vm-tools on CentOS 6

[Rainer Traut]

I know that open-vm-tools is maintained by vmware.
I meant the Vmware repo is alway matching latest vSphere release.

But:
- doesn't contain newer pv drivers
- isn't on par with vSphere releases

For example:
9.4.6  Dyno Hongjun Fu <hfu at vmware.com>
	Release matching the vSphere 5.5p02 release.
9.4.0  Dmitry Torokhov <dtor at vmware.com>
	Release matching the vSphere 5.5 release.

There is no 9.4.6 rpm for C7 but we are running vSphere 5.5p02
