1363444 - Switch the Vagrant environment from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

Heroku has just made their Heroku-16 (Ubuntu 16.04) stack the default. With it comes a much nicer docker image that we can use for a docker-based development environment (bug 1169263).

As a first step prior to using this Heroku Ubuntu 16.04 docker image for development and/or switching stage/prod to the Heroku 16 stack, we should switch the vagrant environment.

This is now easier after bug 1363333, since the fkrull/deadsnakes PPA doesn't have a Python 2.7.x release for Xenial.

Bug 1363444 - Vagrant: Update to Ubuntu 16.04

At some point soon we'll want to switch Heroku stage/production to
their new Heroku-16 (Ubuntu 16.04) stack, so it makes sense to trial
it locally first. Their Heroku-16 docker image will make switching
to docker simpler too.

Notable changes to the provision steps:
* We're using the Bento boxes rather than the 'official' Canonical
  ones, at the recommendation of Vagrant:
  https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/boxes.html#official-boxes
* openjdk-8-jre-headless is now available from the ubuntu.com
  repository, so doesn't require a PPA.
* There isn't an official mysql-server-5.6 package (only 5.7+), so
  we have to start using a PPA.
* Services must now be managed using systemd rather than SysV init.
* The `eth0` network interface has changed name:
  https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/
* The `vendor-libmysqlclient.sh` script will still be run on Ubuntu
  14.04 on Travis/Heroku for now, so has to be compatible with both.
* The previous temporary cleanup steps can be removed since the
  vagrant destroy means a clean slate.

Bug 1363444 - Vagrant: Raise minimum Vagrant version to 1.9.0+

Later versions have fixed various compatibility bugs with newer
virtualbox/Ubuntu releases, including bugs that affected the Bento
boxes.
