Generate API-KEY to access IOS-XR Vagrant box

Since the IOS-XR Vagrant box is currently under Private-Beta, there is a slightly more involved/secure process for downloading the vagrant boxes.

This is just a one time process. Once you have your API-KEY, you can start downloading boxes without going through this again.
