Implemented calculation and storage of Partner Earned Credit (PEC) for Microsoft Azure Plan subscription

Improved email notification about creating a VMware vCloud subscription

To simplify the work of the Service Desk when selling vCloud subscriptions, a notification has been improved that is sent to an employee when purchasing a vCloud subscription.
