As of systemd 231, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH fix applied in the installPhase of rkt's
build was no longer valid, causing rkt to fail to work. This patch changes the
path to point to the new location of libsystemd, which is in ${systemd.lib}.
This introduces VirtualBox version 5.1.6 along with a few refactored
stuff, notably:
* Kernel modules and user space applications are now separate
derivations.
* If config.pulseaudio doesn't exist in nixpkgs config, the default is
now to build with PulseAudio modules.
* A new updater to keep VirtualBox up to date.
All subtests in nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix succeed on my machine and
VirtualBox was reported to be working by @DamienCassou (although with
unrelated audio problems for another fix/branch) and @calbrecht.
