get_virtual_guest_billing_items.go

/*
Retrieve billing items of Virtual Guest servers in the account.

This script makes a single call to the getVirtualGuests() method in the SoftLayer_Account API
service and uses an object mask to get the billing items and items for each VSI server in the
account.
