[VAGRANT] Prevent `vagrant up` failures due to non-zero exits

Related: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/896
Changed the default `pid_path` attribute to "/usr/local/var/run"

On some system, contents of `/var/run` (and possibly `/usr/local/var/run`) is cleared on restart;

As discussed in #115 and #108, the solution is to simply ditch the `elasticsearch` prefix,
the PID files are based on node name anyway.
