Hyper-V: Checkpoint created older than 14 days and is not a VEEAM replica

Checks if the Microsoft Hyper-V checkpoint was created more than 14 days ago, prints out the VMName and excludes replica's created by VEEAM by checking for _replica.

We're using this metric ourselves to find checkpoints that are older than 14 days on Microsoft Hyper-V servers (and likely forgotten) and print the names of the affected VM's. In addition we exclude everything that contains _replica as we're using Veeam Backup & Replication with replication functionality and this would cause a conflict (with older VM's) in some cases.
