Update Virtualbox to its latest version. This allows compilation against
kernel >= 5.4 to succeed without further patches (see #74260, build
would fail for linux-5.5.5 to 5.5.9).
The merge of the version bump in
6fb9f89238 didn't take care of our patch
for the hardening mode and thus enabling VirtualBox without also
force-disabling hardening mode will result in a build error.
While the patch is largely identical with the old version, I've removed
one particular change around the following code:
if (pFsObjState->Stat.st_mode & S_IWOTH)
return supR3HardenedSetError3(VERR_SUPLIB_WORLD_WRITABLE, pErrInfo,
"World writable: '", pszPath, "'");
In the old version of the patch we have checked whether the path is
within the Nix store and suppressed the error return if that's the case.
The reason why I did that in the first place was because we had a bunch
of symlinks which were writable.
In VirtualBox 5.1.22 the code specifically checks whether the file is a
symlink, so we can safely drop our change.
Tested via all of the "virtualbox" NixOS VM subtests and they now all
succeed.

Contains quite a lot of fixes, so for information and details about
them, please have a look at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog.
We also needed to drop the hunk about NATNetworkServiceRunner.cpp in the
hardened.patch, because the file was unused and thus has been removed
from upstream in r54821:

Tested successfully against nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix.

This is espacially cruicial when it comes to Nix 1.9, where we even have
a more restrictive /nix/store. In any event, VirtualBox in hardenend
mode doesn't have to check the /nix/store path, because it's read-only
on NixOS systems. So this check would not introduce more security but
more hurdles, thus I'm removing it (of course _only_ for /nix/store).

Because we have to rely on setuid wrappers on NixOS, we can't easily
hardcode the executable paths and set it 4755. So for all calls, we need
to change the runtime path executable directory to /var/setuid-wrappers/
and for verification we need to retain the executable directory.
Also note, that usually VBoxNetAdpCtl, VBoxNetDHCP, VBoxNetNAT, VBoxSDL
and VBoxVolInfo don't reside in directories that are commonly in PATH,
but in /usr/lib/virtualbox in most mainstream distros. But because the
names of these executables are distinctive enough to not cause
collisions with other setuid programs, I'll leave it like that and not
patch up setuid-wrappers.

We are already checking whether /nix/store has the sticky bit set, so if
it is world-writable as well it doesn't mean that the actual store path
is writable. Let alone the fact that it is only writable during the
build process.
This should fix installing the extension pack when enableExtensionPack
is used.

VirtualBox with hardening support requires the main binaries to be
setuid root. Using VBOX_WITH_RUNPATH, we ensure that the RPATHs are
pointing to the libexec directory and we also need to unset
VBOX_WITH_ORIGIN to make sure that the build system is actually setting
those RPATHs.
The hardened.patch implements two things:
* Set the binary directory to the setuid-wrappers dir so that
VboxSVC calls them instead of the binaries from the store path. The
reason behind this is because nothing in the Nix store can have the
setuid flag.
* Excempt /nix/store from the group permission check, because while it
is group-writeable indeed it also has the sticky bit set (and also
the whole store is mounted read-only on most NixOS systems), so we're
checking on that as well.
Right now, the hardened.patch uses /nix/store and /var/setuid-wrappers
directly, so someone would ever want to change those on a NixOS system,
please provide a patch to set those paths on build time. However, for
simplicity, it's best to do it when we _really_ need it.
