This change does more validation of the CLI args given to vmmetadataexporter to avoid panics. If host isn't given, it errors and exits. If username or password isn't given, it prompts the user to input them. This handles a variety of scenarios around giving or not giving these three arguments. It is also a better solution around handling a password, since a CLI password arg gets leaked to the shell history and potentially other logs.
