Prior to this PR running the vagrant getting started environment would fall back to using rsync for making the /vagrant share available in the guest OS due to the centos/7 box not including virtualbox guest additions (resulting in the absense of the vboxfs drivers). This would complicate using the vagrant env on Windows where rsync is not available by default. The centos/X boxes do not following current best practices for virtualbox providers.

This commit switches to the community managed bentos centos-7.3 box which follows best practices and includes the vbox guest additions. See - https://github.com/chef/bento
