- Pseudo version bump to 6.1.13, which is NOT an Oracle release.
Update VB sources to run under kernel 5.8.0+ with no modifications to the
kernel. These sources are derived from r85883 of the Oracle svn repository.
For operations with USB{2,3}, the extension pack for revision 140056 must
be installed. Once Oracle releases 6.1.14, then the extension pack and
VB itself will have the same revision number.
File "fixes_for_5.8.patch" is removed as that part was fixed upstream.
Fixes boo#1175201.

- Change default display type for openSUSE virtual machines. The default type
has been VMSVGA; however, this display type fails to utilize driver vboxvideo.

- With version 6.1.4 of VB, the bidirectional clipboard part of VBoxClient
for guest systems is failing. A patch is provided at
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19336. These changes have been added
to file "VirtualBox-6.1.4-VBoxClient-vmsvga-x11-crash.patch". This

version of the extpack that is installed. If no pack is installed
or if the license is not current, the new code does nothing. If there
is a current license and the installed pack does not match the
running version of VB, then the script downloads and installs the
new version. File "update-extpack.sh" is added.
