This PR adds a possibility to update Parallels Tools in Windows guests using the common provider option:

config.vm.provider "parallels" do |prl|
  prl.update_guest_tools = true
end

It was working fine for Linux and Mac OS X guests for a while.

Until this moment, for Windows guests we were using the internal Parallels Desktop feature of auto-updating Parallels Tools. But now we are going to disable it globally (#283), so this PR provides a proper way to keep PT up-to-date in Windows guests as well.

Now it is possible to update Parallels Tools in Windows guests using the provider option:
```
config.vm.provider "parallels" do |prl|
  prl.update_guest_tools = true
end
```
