Switch to xenial for default suite

It can be confusing to new users for make-base-vm to create a lucid vm
by default, so switch to xenial, which is also a LTS release, but isn't
EOL yet. Using lucid with gitian-builder is broken anyway, because
lucid has been moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com since it is EOL and
gitian-builder doesn't support old-releases.ubuntu.com.

`make-base-vm` cannot yet make VirtualBox virtual machines ( _patches welcome_, it should be possible to use `VBoxManage`, boot-from-network Linux images and PXE booting to do it). So you must either get or manually create VirtualBox machines that:
1. Are named `Gitian-<suite>-<arch>` -- e.g. Gitian-lucid-i386 for a 32-bit, Ubuntu 10 machine.
1. Are named `Gitian-<suite>-<arch>` -- e.g. Gitian-xenial-i386 for a 32-bit, Ubuntu 16 machine.
2. Have a booted-up snapshot named `Gitian-Clean` . The build script resets the VM to that snapshot to get reproducible builds.
3. Has the VM's NAT networking setup to forward port `localhost:2223` on the host machine to port `22` of the VM; e.g.:
```
VBoxManage modifyvm Gitian-lucid-i386 --natpf1 "guestssh,tcp,,2223,,22"
VBoxManage modifyvm Gitian-xenial-i386 --natpf1 "guestssh,tcp,,2223,,22"
```
The final setup needed is to create an `ssh` key that will be used to login to the virtual machine:
