Sets environment variable QMLSCENE_DEVICE=softwarecontext as a workaround
for "Automatic fallback to softwarecontext renderer".
It is not useful to open a screensaver or to power down the desktop for
operating systems that are run inside VMs. There is no real display that could
be saved and no real power that could be conserved. From a usability
perspective, it is also counterintuitive when looking at the VM window and
only seeing a black screen. Therefore, it makes sense to disable power savings
in VMs.

Makes setting up a shared folder for virtual machines a bit easier.
-
Creates a folder
/mnt/sharedwithchmod 777, adds a group "vboxsf", and adds account "user" to group "vboxsf". Facilitates auto-mounting of shared folders. -
Helps using shared folders with VirtualBox and KVM a bit easier (as in requiring fewer manual steps from the user).
-
/lib/systemd/system/mnt-shared-vbox.service -
/lib/systemd/system/mnt-shared-kvm.service
Sets screen resolution to 1920x1080 by default for VMs in VirtualBox and KVM. This is a workaround for the low screen resolution of 1024x768 at first boot. When using lower screen resolutions, Xfce will automatically scale down.
Installs VirtualBox guest additions if the package
virtualbox-guest-additions-iso is installed, if the environment variable
dist_build_virtualbox=true is set, or if running inside VirtualBox.
