Adding/Updating Chef Cookbooks

If you'd like to add a new Chef cookbook to execute, you must do the following:

1. Add the cookbook to the runlist in the Vagrantfile
2. Add the cookbook to the Berksfile as a dependency.
3. Re-run Berkshelf berks vendor ./cookbooks to vendor the new dependency and commit the cookbook to this repo. To vendor cookbooks you need the ChefDK installed.
