vapp_template_id missing after import vcd_vapp_vm, triggers recreate of the vcd_vapp_vm

[cjswart]

Hello,

After changing from catalog_name/template_name to vapp_catalog_id in the vcd_vapp_vm resource the vm is destroyed and recreated
I removed the resource from the state file and import the resource back in the state file
After the import the vapp_template_id is not added to the state file still forcing a recreate of the vcd_vapp_vm resource

Hi
Please have a look at the changes made in PR #1274. It would be helpful if you could test your issue by building the terraform-provider-vcd from that branch and seeing if it solves the problem.
