1. Sorry ruby, but chef has got to go. …

   Apparently chef can't sit on its hands for a few months without breaking itself.  Out you go!  Once removed, there isn't much argument for ruby either: the next best provisioning tool for this use case is probably shell scripts.
   
   This prompts a number of not-so-small changes:
   * `make` is now the build tool.
   * Rspec and serverspec is likewise abandoned for [`bats`][1], a bash testing tool.
   * Version commit/tag management has been extracted to `bump-version`.
   * Ditch Ubuntu 14 for 16.
   * Ditch VMware, which has [problems][2] in the fuse-based shared FS, for virtualbox
   * `install` grows a `LOCAL` mode, intended to update an existing repo.
   
   The move to ubuntu 16 was prompted by wanting a newer GPG toolchain (2.1).  However GPG is no longer interesting, as cleanly exposing signing abilities to git within the guest is just too clumsy.  We keep ubuntu 16 since it's the future anyhow.
   
   My previous adherence to ubuntu 14 was driven by a problem between `vagrant-cachier` and permissions/ownership problems appearing in 16.  These have been [resolved][3].
