in minutes on all major platforms.

This patch is a tentative approach to add a standard and official
Vagrant file to buildroot. With this file you can setup an isolated
build environment based on Vagrant on all major platforms.

The file is fairly basic right now, it sets up correct Ubuntu version
to download and install required packages for buildroot.

I'm open to suggestions and critics!
