+ GUI: fixed deleting of inaccessible VMs (4.3 regression, bug #12205)

+ Main: don't automatically enable 64-bit guests on 64-bit hosts if VT-x/AMD-V is not available (bug #12424)
+ Main: always expose the DMI memory information to Windows 2012 guests (bug #12017)

+ Main: fixed reporting back temporary name when calling IGuestSession::DirectoryCreateTemp() (bug #12498)
+ API: fix for a hang when launching a GUI VM through the API, which crashes due to GUI unavailability
+ Storage: fix for BLKCACHE_IOERR runtime errors under rare circumstances (bug #11030)
+ Network: allow to start more than 5 PCNet instances (bug #12426)
+ E1000: if the cable was disconnected before the guest initialized the device, the link status was not properly set to 'down' after the initialization completed despite the fact that there was no connection
+ 3D support: fixed offset of guest 3D image elements (Mac OS X Retina hosts only; bug #11021)
+ Solaris hosts: fixed accessing the host driver from non-global zones (4.3 regression, bug #12271)

- update to 4.2.20, this is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
* GUI: always report recommended resolutions for all monitors (not always done since 4.2.12)
* GUI: make sure the assigned license and description are attached to the exported appliance
* GUI: the OS X hot corners were not accessible while a VirtualBox VM is running (Mac OS X hosts only; bug #4139)
* NAT: don't run into an infinite loop in case the host cannot access any DNS server (bug #12300)
* NAT: don't re-connect the cable if the DNS information changes and the cable was disconnected before (bug #12225)
* Main: properly save the passthrough flag for DVD drives without an attached medium
* Keyboard: fixed a VM crash if a VM was resumed from a saved state where at least one key was pressed (bug #11289)
* 2D Video acceleration: fix crashes on presentation mode switches (bug #9194)
* Storage: fixed errors with snapshots when using QCOW or QED disk images
(bug #12144)
* Storage: fix for newer Linux kernels not detecting a hard disk as SSD when
using the IDE or SATA controller (bug #12025)
* Storage: fixed detection of CD/DVD media when switching from an empty to a
host drive with passthrough enabled
* Snapshots: fixed a bug which could result in lost medium attachments
(4.2.18 regression, bug #11750)
* Shared Clipboard: fixed potential SEGFAULT when working with UTF8 and UTF16
content (Mac OS X hosts only)
* OVF: fixed import logic for OVF appliances containing multiple VMs
* Extpack Installer: make it work if the file is located in a folder with
special characters
* SDK: extended the functionality coverage for the C bindings
* API: block the removal of the current snapshot if it has child snapshots
(only relevant for VMs without snapshottable hard disks, their presence
always prevented removal), which resulted in VM config corruption
* API: mark VM configs with snapshots but without current snapshot as
inaccessible, as this combination is nonsense
* API: fixed information for some automatically generated events (only with
XPCOM, Windows host was not affected), which caused errors when getting
