virtualbox_ovf: Modernise VirtualBox OVF (including for Vagrant)

Browse Source 
* 2 CPUs instead of 1 like QEMU.
* 2GB RAM instead of 1GB like QEMU.
* ICH9 chipset instead of PIIX3.
* virtio storage controller instead of IDE.
* VMware SVGA display adapter instead of VBoxVGA.
* USB tablet pointer instead of PS/2 mouse.
* UEFI instead of BIOS.
* UTC clock instead of local.

We don't enable any of the DRM drivers for any of VirtualBox's display
adapters, so it uses efifb regardless, but apparently VMSVGA is best for
Linux guests.

For UEFI, VirtualBox actually uses EDK2. It also supports Secure Boot,
but I haven't tested that.

- Refreshed the VirtualBox OVF (which is also used by the Vagrant image) so that VMs are configured with modern hardware, including a VirtIO storage controller and UEFI. The clock is configured for UTC rather than local time.
