rABC00e19b839fa0: Add information to setup a VM to do gitian build manually
I was able to:
- follow the instruction and create a Debian VM.
- run the manual gitian build on said VM.
- run the offline gitian build on that VM.
I was unable to:
- Verifiy the vagrant documentation
- Verify that gitian-build.py works as advertised
- Create a Fedora VM

What I tried:
- follow the instruction and create a Debian VM => OK
- run the offline gitian build on said VM => OK
- run the gitian-build.py script => did not work
The gitian-build.py script is trying to setup an Ubuntu Bionic VM using Debootstrap scripts, but the Debootstrap version shipped with Debian 9 is too old and does not know about Ubuntu Bionic.
Note: the contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-*-signer.yml should be updated or removed as they seem to not have been updated from core

As discussed in the dev meeting, at least some instructions have been tested successfully.
The remaining part can be tested/fixed in later diffs.
