Aside from just bumping the version number I also had to strip 3 levels
of the paths included in the guest-additions patches, because the
version was hardcoded in there and the patches still apply as-is.
I've re-added the stripped path using patchFlags and the -d option of
the patch utility.
Tested this by running all of the tests in the "virtualbox" NixOS VM
test module, here is the URL to the finished evaluation on my Hydra:

Compiling the kernel modules on Linux 4.12 fails, so I've included an
upstream patch from:
https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/66927/vbox
The patch is applied against the guest additions as well, where we need
to transform the patch a bit so that we get CR LF line endings (DOS
format), which is what is the case for the guest additions ISO.
I've tested this with all the subtests of the "virtualbox" NixOS VM
tests and they all succeed on x86_64-linux.

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.

Putting information in external JSON files is IMHO not an improvement
over the idiomatic style of Nix expressions. The use of JSON doesn't
add anything over Nix expressions (in fact it removes expressive
power). And scattering package info over lots of little files makes
packages less readable over having the info in one file.

In 2942815968, the dependencies for Qt 5
were passed using buildEnv with all the development binaries, headers
and libs. Unfortunately, the build output references that environment
which also increases the size of the runtime closure.
The upstream makefile assumes a common Qt 5 library path, but that's not
the case within Nix, because we have separate paths for the Qt 5
modules.
We now patch the makefile to recognize PATH_QT5_X11_EXTRAS_{LIB,INC} so
that we can pass in the relevant paths from Qt5X11Extras.
In summary, the closure size goes down to 525559600 bytes (501 MB)
instead of 863035544 bytes (823 MB) with vbox-qt5-env.

Putting the kernel modules into the same output path as the main
VirtualBox derivation causes all of VirtualBox to be rebuilt on every
single kernel update.
The build process of VirtualBox already outputs the kernel module source
along with the generated files for the configuration of the main
VirtualBox package. We put this into a different output called "modsrc"
which we re-use from linuxPackages.virtualbox, which is now only
containing the resulting kernel modules without the main user space
implementation.
This not only has the advantage of decluttering the Nix expression for
the user space portions but also gets rid of the need to nuke references
and the need to patch out "depmod -a".

We now no longer need to update VirtualBox manually, which has a few
advantages. Along with making it just easier to update this also makes
the update procedure way less error-prone, for example if people forget
to bump the extension pack revision or to update the guest additions.

Just a small updater which should fetch the latest sha256sums from the
upstream site and check whether the current version is the latest one.
The output is in a JSON file in the same directory, which then will be
used by the Nix expressions to fetch the upstream files.
