### Why is this Change Important & Necessary? <!-- Include any GitHub issue that is fixed/closed using "Fixes #<number>" or "Closes #<number>" syntax. Alternately write "Partially addresses #<number>" or "Related to #<number>" as appropriate. --> Currently whenever `vagrant up` is run the VM is created with 2G of ram and 2 cpus. ### What is the New Behavior? <!-- Include before & after screenshots/videos if the user interface has changed. --> This adds two new environment variables that can be used to configure the values for the vm. An example of both of them used is `VM_MEMORY=4096 VM_CPUS=4 vagrant up` ### What steps should a reviewer take to reproduce or test the bug or new feature? 1. Run `vagrant up` and observe the memory and cpus allocated to your vm. 2. Run `vagrant halt && vagrant up` with `VM_CPUS` and/or `VM_MEMORY` set and verify the correct value is used. ### Automated Testing & Documentation <!-- Is this feature sufficiently tested by unit tests and end-to-end tests? If this PR does not add/update the necessary automated tests, write a new GitHub issue and link it below. Is this feature sufficiently documented on submitty.org? Link related PRs or new GitHub issue to update documentation. --> documentation added in PR: Submitty/submitty.github.io#695 ### Other information <!-- Is this a breaking change? Does this PR include migrations to update existing installations? Are there security concerns with this PR? -->
