All vbox_job.xml to specify ranges of port forwardings,
and whether the access to the host ports is remote or local.
This is to support MPI for Rytis.
Notes:
- the existing feature (pf_guest_port) is used only for web graphics.
The host port is always dynamically assigned;
there's no reason to have <pf_host_port>; I removed it from the doc.
There's no reason to write the host port to a file; I removed that.
- The new feature is only for fixed host ports.
- The checkpoint file can stay the way it is.
This commit adds two extra options:
- enable_cache_disk
- cache_disk_filename
This allows to attach a cache disk image to extend the storage
needs initially provided by the OS image.
In context-based systems such as uCernVM, this image can be
used to store the local cache of artifacs coming from CVMFS.
Note this image is attached without further checking on the content
and is entirely up to the main OS to make good use of it.

This commit allows to attach an ISO9660 image to a vbox VM
from a well-known file. The purpose is to enable the dynamic
configuration of the VM in first boot so that the volunteer VM
can be kept generic. This process is otherwise widely known as
contextualization of virtual machines.
The actual content of the ISO9660 image is application dependent
and outside the scope of this implementation.

NOTE: It does require the VirtualBox extension pack, but that
is freely available on the VirtualBox download page.

- VBOX: Try to make the CERN compatible datatype for FloppyIO more JSON friendly
by following the advice of issue:
https://github.com/stig/json-framework/issues/48
- VBOX: Support both the old style and new style of determining assigned threads
of execution (aka core counts). 6.12 and the early versions of 7.x support
the old style.
