Global status output / machine readable

[grega]

Adding --machine-readable to vagrant global-status returns nothing (Vagrant 1.6.2).

Would be really handy to have an easy-to-parse output from this command :)

From http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/cli/machine-readable.html:

Every Vagrant command accepts a --machine-readable flag which enables machine readable output mode. In this mode, the output to the terminal is replaced with machine-friendly output.

The documentation is not correct & misleading in the presence of this issue.

Automating code needs to know the ID of running vagrants so it can pass the ID to other commands. And the way to do that is with global-status, and it's not --machine-readable! (facepalm.jpg)

It also makes it easier to write tutorials for people learning vagrant because you can more easily write a test that the user has done the right thing.

Actually surprised to see docs and reality mismatch :)

In v1.8.1 there is output for --machine-readable, but output looks kind of horrible. In #6237 there is comment about upcoming work to support JSON, so I guess with this output this issue too can be closed.
