nixos/tests/virtualbox: Improve logging.
This also makes showvminfo obsolete, as we get the same information from
the hosts log.

nixos/virtualbox/hostonlyif: Fix writing to /root.
Creates unnecessary cruft in the root users home directory, which we
really don't need. Except the log, but therefore we now cat the log to
stderr and the private temporary directory is cleaned up afterwards.

nixos/tests/virtualbox: Add test for hostonlyif.
Essentially adds two more VirtualBox VMs to the test and also increases
the memory size of the qemu VM to 768 MB to make sure we don't run out
of memory too soon.

We're testing whether those two VMs can talk to either each other
(currently via ICMP only) or to/from the host via TCP/IP.

Also, this restructures the VM test a bit, so that we now pass in a
custom stage2Init script that has access to the store via a private
mount over the /nix/store that's already in the initrd. The reason why
this is a private mount is that we don't want to shadow the Nix store of
the initrd, essentially breaking cleanup functionality after the custom
stage 2 script (currently this is only "poweroff -f").

Note that setting the hostname inside the VirtualBox VM is *not* for
additional fanciness but to produce a different store path for the VM
image, so that VirtualBox doesn't bail out when trying to use an image
which is already attached to another VM.

nixos/tests/virtualbox: Generalize expression.
We're going to create more than one VirtualBox VM, so let's dynamically
generate subs specific to a particular VirtualBox VM, merging everything
into the testScript and machine expressions.

nixos: Add VM test for VirtualBox.
Currently it pretty much tests starting up virtual machines and just
shutting down afterwards, but for both VBoxManage and the VirtualBox
GUI.

This helps catching errors in hardened mode, however we still need to
test whether networking works the way intended (and I fear that this is
broken at the moment).

The VirtualBox VM is _not_ using hardware virtualization support (thus
we use system = "i686-linux", because x86_64 has no emulation support),
because we're already within a qemu VM, which means it's going to be
slow as hell (that's why I've written own subs just for testing
startup/shutdown/whatnot with respective timeouts).
