HyperV support? #88

Hiya, thank you for publishing Vagrant boxes for macOS!

Would it be possible to offer HyperV provided boxes as well? Unfortunately, Docker in Windows relies on HyperV these days, and HyperV is unable to run concurrently with the VirtualBox hypervisor. In other words, developers working with Windows hosts must choose to boot with either HyperV enabled to run Docker, or else HyperV disabled to run VirtualBox and Vagrant. But if the macOS Vagrant boxes were integrated with the HyperV provider, then Windows users would be able to hack on Docker and Vagrant projects at the same time, without having to constantly reboot. What do you think?

macOS cannot be ran on Hyper-V. In addition, by license macOS cannot be ran on non-Apple hardware. I guess you could run Windows on an iMac and run Hyper-V on top of that, but you'd still have the problem of getting it to work in the first place.
