Disabled automatic boot since Ubuntu Vivid has been EOL'd, and folks who do not have the Vagrant box locally already will not be able to download if from the hardcoded URL. Defaulting to booting the `grsec-build-securedrop` machine now, which is more realistic given why folks are using this repo.
The logic is slightly modified from the implementation developed during review of #100. Hadn't sufficiently tested the logic there prior to merge, so removed an extra in-line "item" that was causing the tasks to fail, and updated the README with docs on the new format. The new GPG pubkey addition was required for the head of the Ubuntu Trusty kernel overlay.
The grsecurity team has discontinued maintenance of the test patches, meaning that the unauthenticated access to grsecurity patch sets is no longer possible. Updated the grsecurity_urls module to remove all mention of the test patches, and modified the associated documentation to list only "stable" and "stable2" as the viable options.

Closes #103. Removes support for the "test" patch type, since those patches are no longer distributed by grsecurity. Switches to the "stable2" patch type by default now, although support for the "stable" patch type remains (#80).
Includes some cleanup for the GPG fetching that should have made it into #100 (added during review), but didn't.
Also includes a rather out-of-band disabling of one of the Vivid-based VMs, simply because the Vivid base box image is no longer hosted, so it won't run by default. Preserve the config block, merely set autostart to disabled. Will circle back to revive that config soon, so it can be used for testing again.
