Improve performance inside the development VM

Composer was running really slow inside the VM. The problem was that
the shared folder FS from VirtualBox has speed issues, so after following
some articles (e.g. http://by-examples.net/2014/12/09/symfony2-on-vagrant.html)
seems that the solution is placing the vendors directory outside the shared
folder.

Now AgenDAV reads a new environment variable, COMPOSER_VENDOR_DIR (it's an actual
variable read from Composer) to load vendors from a different path. Note that
the vendors/ directory inside web/ will not be used by the development VM.
