As of Vagrant 1.7+, the ansible parallel provisioning trick is easier to
be implemented with `config.ssh.insert_key=false` (fallback to previous
behaviour).

I noticed that there wasn't a consistent usage of tabs or spaces at all in the file, so now there is. Sorry for the extra commit, file looks better now.
Per GH#4752, unencrypted WinRM access must be configured on the guest
machine before Vagrant can communicate with the box. This is sometimes
enabled by default on public boxes, but needs to be documented for
those of us that are using custom made boxes.
Like Vagrant's default SSH behaviors (e.g ssh or ssh-config commands),
the Ansible provisioner should by default not modify or read the user
known host file (e.g. ~/.ssh/known_hosts).
Given that `UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null` SSH option is usually combined
with `StrictHostKeyChecking=no`, it seems quite reasonable to bind the
activation/disactivation of both options to `host_key_checking`
provisioner attribute.
For the records, a discussion held in Ansible-Development mailing list
clearly confirmed that there is no short-term plan to adapt Ansible to
offer an extra option or change the behavior of
ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING. For this reason, the current implementation
seems reasonable and should be stable on the long run.
