[FEATURE] Vagrant installation

[apwiggins]

I untar'ed the latest 8.0.0 release files and created a vagrant-based installation to get a look. It takes about 5-10 minutes to build a working Ubuntu 20.04 Virtualbox VM. username is vagrant and password is vagrant. It could be polished to work with any version but hard-coded for version 8.0.0.

Appreciate this, will need to become a bit more familiar and figure the best means of adding as another option, along with the Docker variation as just another option.

Hey Blake. I had a look at the docker version. I guess I missed it in the release notes and didn't see that it generates an X display. So, it's probably about the same result. One tiny bit of feedback on the docker instantiation example in the notes would be to a -v $PWD to the localhost file system so that scenarios can be persisted outside the container. One less hurdle for new adopters to figure out.

In the end, the Vagrant option is good for anyone used to VMs and the docker option is good for anyone used to docker containers.
