Commit 687caeb renamed services.virtualboxHost to programs.virtualbox,
but according to the discussion on the commit, it's probably a better to
put it into virtualisation.virtualbox instead.

Regression introduced by 032f0ffdd0.
The change doesn't look obvious at the first sight why it may cause
problems with lib.makePerlPath, but it introduces a Perl package called
"lib".
And using "with perlPackages;" uses the Perl library "lib" instead of
the lib attribute set from pkgs.
So let's use pkgs.lib.makePerlPath directly in hope that there won't be
a Perl package anytime soon which is called "pkgs".

For example, this allows writing
nix.package = /nix/store/786mlvhd17xvcp2r4jmmay6jj4wj6b7f-nix-1.10pre4206_896428c;
Also, document types.package in the manual.
Fixes#9110. Fontconfig recommends different precedence for rendering
settings and generic alias settings. To comply with the recommendations,
`98-nixos.conf` has been separated into `10-nixos-rendering.conf` and
`60-nixos-generic-alias.conf`.
This gets rid of
systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit avahi-daemon.service, ignoring: Unit avahi-daemon.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
This removes all references to .../sbin for the guest additions and also
installs all binaries to .../bin instead (so no more .../sbin).
The main motivation for doing this is commit 98cedb3 (which
unfortunately had to be reverted in a9f2e10) and pull request #9063,
where the latter is an initial effort to move mount.vboxsf to .../bin
instead of .../sbin.
The commit I made afterwards is finishing the removal of .../sbin
entirely.
In 14f09e0, I've introduced the module under modules/programs, because
the legacy virtualbox.nix was also under that path. But because we
already have modules/virtualisation/virtualbox-guest.nix, it really
makes sense to put this module alongside of it as well.
This module thus has no change in functionality and I've tested
evaluation against nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix and the manual.

Using $storepath/sbin is deprecated according to commit 98cedb3, so
let's avoid putting anything in .../sbin for the guest additions.
This is a continuation of the initial commit done by @ctheune at
1fb1360, which unfortunately broke VM tests and only changed the path of
the mount.vboxsf helper.
With this commit, the VM test is fixed and I've also verified on my
machine that it is indeed working again.
