iosxe_iso2vbox.py fails for csr1000v-universalk9.16.08.01a.iso

[termlen0]

Box creation fails at the socat stage. Trying to manually connect to the serial port also fails (I tried non-tcp options as well on a standalone).

@termlen0 This is because the last few images posted for the CSR don't have the Serial port available by default in the MBR. Working off the great work by @rschmied I built a quick process that fixes the ISO so you can script it. I've got it all documented in my "box building" instructions here.
