Description of the change
A popular request is to allow ubuntu-vm-builder to add packages from a 3rd-party repository (not a PPA). For example, one might want to install Cassandra in an Ubuntu Saucy VM. Previously, this was only possible using the "--firstboot" option and a carefully-written script.
This branch enables support for adding 3rd party repositories from a file. More precisely, it adds the "--addsourcefile" option which tells ubuntu-vm-builder to copy a certain file to the VM's /etc/apt/
For example, assuming one already has Cassandra's repository on the current system, a Cassandra-ready VM can be created as follows:
sudo ./ubuntu-vm-builder kvm saucy --addsourcefile /etc/apt/

Requesting review from Serge Hallyn.
