Stop supporting the vmwarefusion driver

[r2d4]

We don't currently run any integration tests on the vmwarefusion driver. There are no devs currently working on supporting this driver, so we should stop supporting it.

@r2d4 Please, don't! It is superior to VirtualBox in terms of performance and it cost is less than a (Starbucks) coffee per month! Well, when you release docker-machine-driver-hyperkit, then it would be a different story and you can even drop VirtualBox support on macOS and nobody will even notice!

agree @nikolay. If you guys accept #2118, then it's a different story. I (and/or someone in our team) can help support this driver. but please don't throw it away!

We have the same issue at minishift, and we will be dropping support of VMware too.

Seconding @anfernee , we're on the same team and I can also help support the driver.

A good place to start would be to look through open issues tagged with vmwarefusion as the driver and try to tackle some of them:
https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Adriver%2Fvmwarefusion

[mikeroySoft]

Product manager for Fusion here... Can we help?

Please check discussion on the PR. We, Minishift and minikube, discussed that it might be a better idea to move the driver to a different organisation we have set up. Details are on the PR. This will make maintenance easier as a shared effort. Link to the comment: #2118 (comment) We will still setup CI, but with a fixed/stable version for minikube. While we will try to create CI for each PR in the org for development purpose. The reasoning is that each driver in minikube is expected to have a certain quality that we can not guarantee at the moment. We have limited bandwidth, so we rather give this responsibility to the developers of the driver.
