VMWare fault details

[24pravin]

Please refer https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/blob/master/vim25/soap/error.go and class

type soapFaultError struct {
fault *Fault
}

Above class is private to govmomi/vim25/soap package. Therefore even VMWare API returns detail error description i.e fault.Detail.Fault. One can not log this information or not able to access the details. Therefore debugging of issue become difficult.

Ask:
i) The above class and attribute fault should be visible out side the govmomi package so that one can log the details error description given by VMWare API.
ii) Or there should be better error handling so that caller should know more details about actual issue.
