VVV still requires "Run as administrator" #2299

Recently I've added support for UAC prompt on goodhosts so that it works even if you don't run vagrant up on an elevated shell.

There's still issues with symlinks not working if you don't run vagrant in an elevated prompt. This issue mainly causes problems when installing npm related stuff to shared/synced folders.

Based on research I did, I've found that you need to have a specific privilege assigned to your user to avoid this.

Potentially we could bundle a PowerShell script that would ask the user for confirmation and grant this permission for the current user.

Now that I'm running VVV on Windows I'll document more things I found and research on how to fix it on this issue.

I don't think that changing system policies via powershell is going to be a viable solution. A lot of people can't do that or won't do that
