This brings VirtualBox to the latest upstream version, which also fixes
building the modules against kernel 4.9.0.
Tested against all the the "virtualbox" subtests on x86_64-linux.
The "misc" NixOS test is using Nix to query the store and it tries to
change the ownership of it while doing so.
This fails if Nix is not in a seccomp-sandboxed userid namespace, so
let's make chown() a no-op when applied to store paths.
Fixes the misc test (and possibly future tests) on older Nix versions.

Enables support for accessing files over HTTP:
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive media=cdrom,file=http://host/path.iso,readonly
Increases the closures size from 445 to 447 MiB.
The reason to patch QEMU is that with latest Nix, tests like "printing"
or "misc" fail because they expect the store paths to be owned by uid 0
and gid 0.
Starting with NixOS/nix@5e51ffb1c2, Nix
builds inside of a new user namespace. Unfortunately this also means
that bind-mounted store paths that are part of the derivation's inputs
are no longer owned by uid 0 and gid 0 but by uid 65534 and gid 65534.
This in turn causes things like sudo or cups to fail with errors about
insecure file permissions.
So in order to avoid that, let's make sure the VM always gets files
owned by uid 0 and gid 0 and does a no-op when doing a chmod on a store
path.
In addition, this adds a virtualisation.qemu.program option so that we
can make sure that we only use the patched version if we're *really*
running NixOS VM tests (that is, whenever we have imported
test-instrumentation.nix).
Tested against the "misc" and "printing" tests.

As of systemd 231, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH fix applied in the installPhase of rkt's
build was no longer valid, causing rkt to fail to work. This patch changes the
path to point to the new location of libsystemd, which is in ${systemd.lib}.
This introduces VirtualBox version 5.1.6 along with a few refactored
stuff, notably:
* Kernel modules and user space applications are now separate
derivations.
* If config.pulseaudio doesn't exist in nixpkgs config, the default is
now to build with PulseAudio modules.
* A new updater to keep VirtualBox up to date.
All subtests in nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix succeed on my machine and
VirtualBox was reported to be working by @DamienCassou (although with
unrelated audio problems for another fix/branch) and @calbrecht.

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.

See #11567.
Furthermore, it renames pythonPackages.dbus to pythonPackages.dbus-
python as that's the name upstream uses.
There is a small rebuild but I couldn't figure out the actual cause.
