Vagrant Development Envoirment - Ansible Setup with Windows Host

[crankeye]

I've added a script to the Vagrantfile for provisioning with Ansible when the host OS is Windows. Ansible currently does not support Windows as the control machine. The work around involves installing Ansible on the guest machine and running the provisioning from the guest machine.

I don't particularly like the if/else logic in the Vagrant file but AFIAK this is the best solution for this particular situation.

Thanks for the PR! I'm going to have to plead ignorance on the details of vagrant, but there appears to be a few PRs kicking around related to it so maybe you guys could collaborate to figure out what to do? I'm happy to merge this if you guys say it's good to go as well, would be good to get @crankeye on the approved users for his efforts.

Thanks, @crankeye - I wasn't aware of the lack of Windows support in Ansible.

The strategy that you took seems to match the other examples that I found for provisioning a VM guest using Ansible while on a Windows host (I looked at https://github.com/KSid/windows-vagrant-ansible and https://github.com/Taytay/vagrant-ansible-postgres).

Makes sense to me. Thanks for making the Vagrant dev environment more cross-platform friendly!
