- Setting 0660 as permissions of /dev/vboxusb directory itself was preventing
access to this directory by any non-root user, even if member of vboxusers.
This results in VBox UI failing to enable USB passthrough.
Fix issue by removing all the workarounds for /dev/vboxusb/* as they should
no longer be required.
I have verified that with this USB passhtrough works on today's TW (real machine), as well as Leap 15.5 (on a VM) and today's Leap 15.6 beta (unfortunately, I couldn't get a nested VM to work on 15.6 at all -- but with this fix the UI can enumerate USB devices at least).
Without this fix, VBox always shows "VirtualBox is not currently allowed to access USB devices. You can change this by adding your user to vboxusers [....]", and the UI cannot enumerate USB devices at all.

- File "fixes_for_kernel_6.3.patch" is updated for more API changes
File "fix_7.0.6_locking_problems.patch" is added. Fixes boo#1209529.
Larry Len Rainey and I have worked on this bug for some time. It only
happened on systems with large numbers of processors and many virtual
machines. We suspected a locking problem, but the thought of auditing
the entire code was daunting until it was discovered that there was no
problem if the host ran VB 6.1.40. It did not matter what version the
guests were running. That essentially eliminated every code part except
for vboxdrv.ko. That made the audit tractable. There were two files and
a total of 8 places where the locking was suspect. When those were
changed, the lockups while using 7.0.6 host code were no longer observed.
The lockups were infrequent, thus it is impossible to say that we have
fixed everything, but the frequency is clearly diminished.
spec-cleaner used to remove extra blank line is spec file.

OCI: Cloud networks can now be configured via Network Manager tool same way as it is done for Host-only and NAT networks
GUI: Added a new utility similar to "top" or "resource monitor" which lists peformance statistics (CPU usage, RAM usage, disk I/O rate, etc.) of running guests
GUI: Reworked the new vm wizard to integrate the unattended guest OS installation and to have a more streamlined work flow
GUI: Added a new help viewer widget which enables the user manual to be navigated and searched
GUI: Adding new notification center unifying most of running progresses and error reporting around the GUI
GUI: Improved theme support on all platforms. Linux and macOS use native engine while for Windows host it is separately implemented.

Audio recording: Now using Vorbis as the default audio format for WebM containers. Opus is no longer being used.
Audio: Added "default" host driver type to make it possible to move VMs (appliances) between different platforms without the need of changing the audio driver explicitly. When the "default" driver is selected, the best audio backend option for a platform will be used. This is the default for newly created VMs.
Guest Control: Implemented initial support for automatic updating of Guest Additions for Linux guests
Guest Control: Implemented ability to wait for and/or reboot the guest when updating Guest Additions via VBoxManage
VBoxManage: Added Guest Control "waitrunlevel" sub-command to make it possible to wait for a guest to reach a certain run level
