Description of problem

The recently merged Vagrantfile for creating a VM with CI setup is a great improvement. However, it currently runs the VM as qemu's i440FX based machine. That means the "host" for the tests has no PCIe, and can't have an IOMMU which prevents reasonably testing a number of Kata features such as VFIO.

Expected result

Vagrant VM runs with q35 qemu machine which has PCIe and allows for an IOMMU.

Actual result

Vagrant VM runs with i440FX based 'pc' machine, and attempting to add an IOMMU will result in a qemu error.

vagrantfile: set q35 machine type
10cb50c 
Currently the VM is configured with QEMU's i440FX machine type which has no
PCIe support (among other restrictions). This changed the Vagrantfile so that
the it boots a q35 machine instead.
