Debug output

Provide a link to a GitHub Gist containing the complete debug output:
https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/other/debugging.html. The debug output should
be very long. Do NOT paste the debug output in the issue, just paste the
link to the Gist.

Expected behavior

What should have happened?
config.vm.provision "shell_early", path: "echo "pre synced_folder run shell"

would offer the ability to run a process before any custom shares are loaded, ( not the vagrant ones)

Actual behavior

What actually happened?
synced_folders are ran , then shell provisioners , then other provisioners like puppet

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup an shell option
2. it will run post synced folder mount
3. this can fail as details don't exist on the base box

References

Are there any other GitHub issues (open or closed) that should be linked here?
For example:

• Many git hub issues exist around needing apache on the box before the synced folders set this to apache.

The workarounds that exist are , add a shell provision to undertake the remount or bake in a user to the box before you use it.

Seems to have a shell_premount would be very useful, as this can be used to also bootstrap stuff into a box before mounting shares.

Marking as a duplicate #3849 as it would provide this functionality. Cheers!
