Sync /vagrant folder using virtualbox shared folder

Browse Source 
When doing vagrant halt then vagrant up we want the system to keep
working. The easiest way to do this is to use a virtual box plugin to
install the tools, then use the tools to sync the /vagrant directory,
rather than falling back to rsync on every boot of the VM. The rsync
looses all the writes since the last boot, forcing a full reprovision.
