VMware Workstation 5 & vmware-any-any added to AUR

As it became clear from comments added to the vmware-workstation 6 package in aur i was not the only archuser that wanted to stay with workstation 5 (license isssues) i decided to make an aur package of it.

I used the pkgbuilds for vmware-workstation by miklos, romashka & pizzapunk and adapted them.
During testing the package i found i needed the vm-any-any updates to make it run with the latest kernel (as expected) , so i've made an aur package for that also.

To avoid confusion with the vmware-workstation package i've named my package vmware-ws5 .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
