Native vagrant packages for Fedora

Vagrant offers scripted provisioning and deployment of virtual
instances, removing the infamous "but it works om my laptop"
obstacle. Vagrant is well-known and much used and praised in the
devops community. Its home page is http://vagrantup.com/

Though VirtualBox is the current supported target, future versions of
vagrant may support other hypervizors as well, including kvm. Being in
itself free software under the MIT license, I think vagrant could be
included in fedora.

While an upstream rpm exists (putting all dependent packages in /opt)
a native fedora package of vagrant was missing. So I wrapped one up.

Review request: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905396

It depends on the following packages missing from fedora 18:

rubygem-log4r >= 1.1.9 < 2.0.0
   Fix: Build new package.
   Package review request: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905240

rubygem-childprocess >=0.3.1 < 0.4.0 (0.3.6 in rawhide)
   Fix: Grab 0.3.6 package from rawhide

rubygem-json >= 1.5.1, < 1.6.0 (1.6.5 in f18, 1.9.1 in rawhide)
   Fix: Build rubygem-json15, roughly based on current package.
   Package review request: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905389

rubygem-net-ssh >= 2.2.2 < 2.3.0 (2.2.1 in rawhide)
   Fix: Build 2.2.2 package based on current package.
   Update request: bz https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905393
