Aneesh Agrawal bd9246b009 treewide: Always use integers for meta.priority
Meta attributes types are now enforce as of commit
90b9719f4fc95e54400a66bffcc8044c568cfa4b,
so ensure meta.priority is always set to an integer.

This fixes evaluation of `linuxPackages_latest.virtualbox`
(the impetus for this commit)
and other packages that use lowPrio or hiPrio.
