This fixes#10077 because after some debugging it turns out that by
default we don't have a font which is able to display Chinese symbols.
Thanks to @anderspapitto, @kmicu and hyper_ch on IRC to help debugging
this issue, see log at:

With unifont we have a reasonable fallback font to ensure that every
written language is rendered correctly and thus less surprise for new
users who keep their font settings at the default.

Since 74209a4 we have initial support for the "vboxsf" (VirtualBox
shared folder) file system support. This will be cherry-picked to
release-15.09 so we need to notice people about the change.

There were quite a few configuration options which were tagged via
<literal/>, so in order to keep consistency with other docbook manuals
in the source tree, let's use <option/> here.

I'm not quite sure why the official Hydra gets a kernel panic in one of
two VMs using the exact same kernels:
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/26339384
Because the kernel panic happens before stage 1, let's wait for the
first VM to boot up and after the bootup is done, start the second one
in hope that it won't trigger the panic.
Oddly enough, whenever I run the test on my own Hydra and on my local
machines, I don't get anything like that.

I forgot to do this in da0e642. It shouldn't be a big problem but it's
more clean to destroy the VM once we're done testing.

We previously had 1024 MB of memory to fit a VirtualBox VM with 512 MB
plus the memory needed of the VirtualBox host VM. That obviously won't
work for two VirtualBox VMs, which are used for testing networking
between two VirtualBox guests.
Now, we have 2048 MB on the qemu guest (the VirtualBox host) and 768 MB
for each VirtualBox guest. That should be enough to fit in two
VirtualBox guests (I hope).

The default options for all file systems currently are
"defaults.relatime", which works well on file systems which support the
relatime option.
Unfortunately, this is not the case for the VirtualBox shared folder
filesystem, so until now, you need to set something like:
fileSystems."/foo" = {
device = "foo";
fsType = "vboxsf";
options = "defaults";
};
Otherwise mounting the file system would fail.
Now, we provide only the "defaults" option to the "vboxsf" file system,
so something like this is enough:
fileSystems."/foo" = {
device = "foo";
fsType = "vboxsf";
};
An alternative to that could be to document that you need to set default
options, but we really should do what users expect instead of forcing
them to look up the documentation as to why this has failed.

Unfortunately, we can't test whether USB is really working, but we can
make sure that VirtualBox has access to the USB devices.
This is essentially testing #9736, which I haven't yet been able to
reproduce though, but it makes sense to test it so it won't happen in
future releases.

The default synaptics functionality (without this file) is limited for
clickpads: the right soft button area in the bottom right isn't active by
default, so the entire pad generates left-clicks. There is no way to
right-drag.
This file defines soft button areas and provides some matching rules.
These settings don't conflict with the synaptics options that NixOS
provides.
Addresses #9876 in the way that we want to make sure that VirtualBox 5.x
is going to be properly detected. Right now the result is "kvm", so the
subtest fails as expected with:
error: systemd-detect-virt returned "kvm" instead of "oracle" at (eval
14) line 414, <__ANONIO__> line 92.

The previous default was $out/lib/debug, which wasn't very useful.
This ensures that you can do
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.hello.debug ];
to install debug info.
Booting the demo/installer image won't work if the video memory is too
low. It boots into KDE, shows the background image and doesn't do
anything, according to @domenkozar.

pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/common-config.nix defines HIGHMEM64G on
line 441 for 32bit systems, which implies PAE.
We now creating the OVA with PAE support enabled, which fixes bootup of
the image if people are just importing it without setting PAE
explicitly.

We're simply using antiquotation, since it's been a while since these
got introduced (in Nix 1.7). So we can use them because it makes the
code much more readable.
As usual, I made sure that I didn't accidentally change something in
functionality:
$ nix-instantiate nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix
...
/nix/store/cldxyrxqvwpqm02cd3lvknnmj4qmblyn-vm-test-run-virtualbox.drv
$ git stash pop
...
$ nix-instantiate nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix

This is essentially not only "wrapping" the line but refactoring into a
shorter name which is used in two places.
And yes, I know I'm very pedantic if it comes to whitespaces and line
lengths, but I made sure this doesn't change any functionality:
$ nix-instantiate nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix
...
/nix/store/cldxyrxqvwpqm02cd3lvknnmj4qmblyn-vm-test-run-virtualbox.drv
$ git stash pop

Instead of manually setting debug to true or false, this should make it
possible to now run the test like this:

Sometimes there are random kernel panics do to the lack of memory in the
qemu guests, but as we're setting the VirtualBox memory size relatively
low, 1024 MB should be enough for the qemu guests.

We want to check whether DBus functionality is working, so let's make
sure it is running in our mini-initrd.
DBus unfortunately requires to have users properly set up and another
configuration file other than in ${dbus.daemon}/etc/dbus-1/system.conf,
so we do provide that as well.

This seems to have been confusing people, using both xlibs and xorg, etc.
- Avoided renaming local (and different) xlibs binding in gcc*.
- Fixed cases where both xorg and xlibs were used.
Hopefully everything still works as before.
OpenVPN is enabled implicitly when configuring 'services.openvpn.servers', so the
"enable" option is meaningless since b2910df04e4ec3e707ad08074bd128dedf9b2c23.
