Include libvirt variants of the boxes.

Thanks for the boxes that you've provided, I've used them a lot.

Would you entertain the idea of including libvirt as an additional provider in addition to virtualbox? If so, I'd be happy to start on a PR to achieve this.

@00willo - For my project, for now at least, I'm only maintaining the VirtualBox images. At some point I may change that (I know I entertained the idea of maintaining my own EC2 AMIs as well!), but for now I'm going to stick with just VirtualBox.

(It would be great though if you wanted to maintain a fork that supported libvirt—or if you could find a way to 'plug in' a different VM provider... that would be neat too).

I started working on this but found some incompatibilities in dependencies. https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-packer-debian needs a new release first now that my bugfix is included in master.

Sorry about that; new tag is out!
