Title: devstack vagrantfile: mount "themes" from host

This mounts the "themes" directory on the host. This will enable people
who have configured "stanford-style" themes to check out their themes on
the host and have it useable in the devstack.

Two things are a bit odd about this that are worth highlighting.

1. For people not using Stanford-style theming, which are most
developers and certainly everyone at edX.org, this is a wasted
export. It doesn't do any harm, but would it be confusing? I
think that's OK.

2. The provision steps checks out the other repos that you need
(edx-platform, cs_comment_service, etc.). We're not checking out
the theme repo ourselves here, counting on the user to do so
yourself later. I know this isn't consistent, but I couldn't
plumb through the theming stuff into the rest of devstack
provision, at least not right now.
