Introduce a bitbake argument and class file that allows VirtualBox Image generation. Running in a Virtual Machine is a very interesting and appealing value proposition for a number of reasons such as: * Preferred option for many for a quick test drive * No dedicated HW needed * VirtualBox runs on Windows, Mac, Linux * Very little upfront investment needed * Quick and easy to set-up in hours or less than half a day) * Any machine (laptop, desktop) will do * Allows to scale development teams to hundreds without the need for each developer to have access to the target HW
