Made a Vagrant Box based on KVM img, easier now for Windows and Mac

[Ross Duggan]

Most welcome, was a bit of a challenge, and I like tinkering! I'm in the
same boat as Marvin, first time creating a Vagrant box.

Looking forward to an upstream build, I've no idea what the build process
is for Ubuntu Core, so my own of manually resolving the dependencies in the
absence of apt was pretty brute force.

If you want any details of what I did, I can bundle stuff up like Marvin
did.
