Use NFS to mount puppet paths for FreeBSD

[sc68cal]

Currently FreeBSD has not implemented vboxsf support in their guest additions, so I was looking for a workaround for not being able to mount vboxsf filesystems, and stumbled across 3822d8e by @mfournier, which allows the usage of NFS for Puppet.

It appears though that there needs to be a little more work on the FreeBSD capabilities side so that it'll mount the Puppet paths via NFS.

Vagrant attempted to execute the capability 'mount_virtualbox_shared_folder'
on the detect guest OS 'freebsd', but the guest doesn't
support that capability. This capability is required for your
configuration of Vagrant. Please either reconfigure Vagrant to
avoid this capability or fix the issue by creating the capability.
