done for each machine that Vagrant is managing. This allows you to
conditionally validate some keys based on the state of the machine and so on.
The `_detected_errors` method returns any errors already detected by Vagrant, like unknown configuration keys.
The return value is a Ruby Hash object, where the key is a section name,
and the value is a list of error messages. These will be displayed by
Vagrant. If there are no errors, an empty hash must be returned.
