Support Vagrant: quick & easy Linux virtual machine setup

When developing Git for Windows, we always have to ensure that we do not
break any non-Windows platforms, e.g. by introducing Windows-specific code
into the platform-independent source code.

At other times, it is necessary to test whether a bug is Windows-specific
or not, in order to send the bug report to the correct place. Having
access to a Linux-based Git comes in really handy in such a situation.

Vagrant offers a painless way to install and use a defined Linux
development environment on Windows (and other Operating Systems). We offer
a Vagrantfile to that end for two reasons:

1) To allow Windows users to gain the full power of Linux' Git

2) To offer users an easy path to verify that the issue they are about
   to report is really a Windows-specific issue; otherwise they would
   need to report it to [email protected] instead.

Using it is easy: Download and install https://www.virtualbox.org/, then
download and install https://www.vagrantup.com/, then direct your
command-line window to the Git source directory containing the Vagrantfile
and run the commands:

	vagrant up
	vagrant ssh

See https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Vagrant for details.

As part of switching Git for Windows' development environment from msysGit
to the MSys2-based Git SDK, this Vagrantfile was copy-edited from msysGit:
