Smarter Docker + Vagrantfile caching

[ahmadia]

@amfarrell - after digging around on the documentation for Vagrant, it looks like caching Docker images will be a non-trivial endeavor. The best solution I found is this:

fgrehm/vagrant-cachier#131

Basically, we can't map the Docker cache to a synchronized directory on the host directory. The best solution is to manually save and load Docker images manually. I think I can automate this in the Vagrant script, but I may not get to it tonight.

How frequently are users going to be spinning up new vagrant boxes? If they are only installing the system locally and running salt highstate once, how impactful is this issue?

This is a developer, not a user issue. It's not priority.

This isn't really an issue anymore as Docker is no longer part of the development build.
