Rebased the old VirtualBox driver from 2023, as an example to be converted into the new driver framework...

The qcow2 format was hardcoded in some places, and the imgutil didn't support VDI format-specific disks

Otherwise it seemed to still be working, with the limitations (only tested x86_64, and only sshfs mounts)

Thanks!

This is a legacy driver for Oracle VirtualBox, x86_64 only.

It also has support for shared folders and hostonly networks,
but they are not implemented just yet (sshfs and nat only)
