Description
#### Overview of the Issue
When an underlying vagrant issue occurs (such as a plugin issue) the error message from packer can be quite obscure.
For example, an out-of-date Vagrant VMware utility caused Packer to report:
```
Build 'vmware' errored after 8 seconds 844 milliseconds: error: SSH Port was not properly retrieved from SSHConfig.
```
#### Reproduction Steps
Have a config that will produce some vagrant error;
Run a packer build using the vagrant builder.
### Plugin and Packer version
Packer 1.7.2
### Operating system and Environment details
macOS 11.4 on Intel
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported failure with a Packer build using the Vagrant builder and compare the visible message with the underlying Vagrant error. The issue names no files or tests, so trace the Vagrant builder's error-handling path and define done as preserving the underlying error details in the reported build failure.
