nixosTests.virtualbox: always use nested KVM

Browse Source 
Nested KVM has been enabled by default on Linux on Intel for a long
time now, and since Virtualbox 6.1.0, the test won't run without it
because Virtualbox now only supports running hardware-accelerated VMs.

Additionally, this means we can 64-bit guests by default.  The 32-bit
guest additions don't currently build, so this is important to have
the tests work with the default options.
