This makes it so that ./makebuildserver will run without any config file,
using the defaults that are embedded in the script itself. This is like
how `fdroid` works.
This host automatically detects which is the closest mirror, then uses that
one. It does so dynamically, so it'll work on machines that move too. Now
that we are pushing more people to run F-Droid build servers, the defaults
should take those use cases into account.
This keeps the numbers of names down to a minimum, and since the config
is placed right next to the script, this keeps tab completion working
nicely when the config file is in place.
The old file name is still supported.
On some setups, using a custom apt mirror is essential, so this adds a
command line flag to override the default one:
http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/
For example, someone who runs a local mirror for offline and low bandwidth
situations.
This uses a % rather than a .format() to avoid escaping { and }, which have
meaning when using .format().
config.vm.box_url can be a list/tuple of URLs, which is useful to specific
a locally cached copy. This is needed on slow connections, so that if it
fails, the download of jessie32.box does not have to start from the
beginning of the file again.
Add optional support for vagrant-cachier plugin
Building the basebox is excruciating for people on slow connections. I'm particularly sensitive to this after living in Central America for awhile :)
This won't affect anyone who hasn't installed the plugin. For those who do, it creates a persistent shared folder for each box (ie. testing23.box) and detects directories to cache between VM builds (apt, gems, pip, chef cache, etc.)
(The only downside is that, for those following server setup does who are not aware what vagrant-cachier does, it might be unexpected that artifacts persist between vagrant destroys.)

Update Vagrantfile and docs to clarify v1.4.3 is ok
Saw in the server docs that we were recommending 1.3.x and saying 1.4.x was broken. I've confirmed that 1.4.x works, and updated things accordingly. Higher version might work, but figured minimal change to build stuff was best :)
