Install files required by Unattended Installation of Guest OS feature.
These files were already prepared during the ports' build, so just add
them to the installation.
Details about this feature are here:

emulators/virtualbox-ose*: Exclude from extract bundled binary files of kBuild
Thes is ~430-640 files, ~30-55MB total for different platforms.
We are using devel/kBuild for build VirtualBox ports.
devel/kBuild is a newer version than the one included in the VirtualBox
tarballs.

python: bump all USE_PYTHON=distutils consumers after RUN_DEPENDS removal
Any missed ports, feel free to bump.
Any ports that need setuptools at runtime can have the devel/py-setuptools
manually added back to RUN_DEPENDS, but understand that this practice
is deprecated; see CHANGES for details.
emulators/virtualbox-ose{,-kmod,-nox11}-70: Add new ports VirtualBox 7.0.24
General status:
* VirtualBox 7.1.x is still not fully ported to FreeBSD, so we are
adding 7.0.x in experimental/test mode.
* 7.0.x is being tested on hosts of several FreeBSD developers and
users.
* As far as we know, 7.0.x has the same system requirements as 6.1.x -
amd64 with VT-x (we even tested it on Core 2 Duo E6xxx), so after
confirming stability with more users, 7.0.x is expected to replace
6.1.x.
* The following ports also need to be created for this replacement:
- emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions-70;
- emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions-nox11-70;
- www/phpvirtualbox-70.
* If 7.1.x has the same system requirements, then when we port 7.1.x,
it will replace 7.0.x.
This patch is a joint effort by several FreeBSD developers and users.
Thanks to everyone involved!
