Main/Medium+Snapshot: make all code recursing over trees (objects containing lists of child objects) use as little stack as possible, and establish safe depth limits to avoid crashes, plus related cleanups in related code areas

DHCPServer: Define DHCP option encodings as an enum. The enum is not currently used in the API itself as we only smugle hex-encoded options through existing API to remain backward compatible, but it provides authoritative C definitions that we can now use on both sides of the API.

Be -pedantic about trailing comma at the end of an enum for the sake of 4.3.

Main/DHCPServerImpl: for DHCP options keep not just the text representation, but also encoding of that text representation. When XML settings are read, interpret old format, without explicit "encoding" attribute, as legacy encoding where we are expected to know the actual format of the option from the option code itself. When writing legacy options, write them in old format. This is in preparation for using "de:ad:be:ef" hex-encoded option values for non-standard options which format we can't know a priory.

Use existing typedef to define DHCPServer::GlobalDhcpOptions.

6219: New parameters related to file size / recording time limitation for VM Video Capture have been added (vcpmaxtime, vcpmaxsize and vcpoptions - special codec options in key=value format). EbmlWriter has been refactored. Removed some redundant code.

Main: Added paravirt. provider APIs.

Main: s/Vbox/VBox/g s/VB/VBox/g

Main: Added a TripleFaultReset switch.

Main/MediumAttachment+Machine: stub attribute/method for an explicit hot-pluggable medium attachment flag, to be used by AHCI soon

Main/NetworkAdapter+Machine+Appliance+SystemProperties+Medium+Console+Settings+IDL: make NAT networking a separate network attachment type which improves the user experience, store the necessary settings, plus changing the design of the methods which will move images and entire VMs, they lacked a progress object Frontends/VirtualBox: adapted fully, can configure NAT networks with proper drop down list support Frontends/VBoxManage: also supports NAT networks completely, and adds the long missing code to list intnets

Main,VBoxManage: Implemented IConsole::EmulatedUSB. Removed IMachine::emulatedUSBWebcameraEnabled.

settings/xml: cosmetics.

NAT/xml: loopback mappings introduces NATNetwork entities: <Mappings> <Loopback4 address="127.0.1.1" offset="6"/> <Loopback4 address="127.0.1.2" offset="7"/> </Mappings> to describe mapppings any hostid in 127/8 network to our NAT network, e.g. in this case 127.0.1.1 corresponds to network id + 6 (network id here from CIDR defined on creation), for IPv6 (as soon localhost6 could be only one) attribute "loopback6" is reserved in NATNetwork tag. operators: NATHostLoopbackOffset::operator == (const Utf8Str&) and NATHostLoopbackOffset::operator==(uint32_t) are introduced got using std::find on adding and modification operations in NATNetworkImpl.

Fixed initialization.

Main: Made the exclusive HW virtualization use setting global rather than per-VM.

DHCP server together with Lwip NAT can handle per vm/slot configuration and store them in xml settings. place-holder: Host interface nameserver list, domain name and search strings, I suppose that this functions should be used on initialization stage and then on host configuration change even or directly from event.

backed out r86967,r86968,r86969,r86970,r86971,r86972,r86973,r86975,r86976. will fix build locally.

Main/NetworkAdapter: Bandwidth group attribute implementation (#5582)

Added a promiscModePolicy attribute to INetworkAdapter, three values: deny (default), allow-network (i.e. VMs), allow-all (i.e. include unrelated host traffic).

Main, VMM, vboxshell: more PCI work (persistent settings, logging, more driver API), API consumer in vboxshell

VRDE: use VRDE properties for video redirection settings.

Main/Settings: always use forward slashes in media & snapshot folder paths to make things more portable between windows & other OSes

Main: Bandwidth groups for disks (and later network) This introduces two new interfaces. The first one named IBandwidthGroup represents one I/O limit and can be assigned to several mediums which share this limit (which works only for harddisk images with the disabled host cache). The second one IBandwdithControl manages the groups and can create new ones and destroy them if not required anymore. VBoxManage: commands to access the bandwidth groups Syntax: VBoxManage storageattach <uuid|vmname> ... --bandwidthgroup <name> --bandwidthgroup assigns the specified device to the given group. VBoxManage bandwidthctl <uuid|vmname> --name <name> --add disk|network --limit <megabytes per second> --delete The --name parameter gives the name of the bandwidth group. --add creates a new group of the given type (only disk is implemented so far) with the given name. --limit sets the limit to the given amount of MB/s Note that limit can be changed while the VM is running. The VM will immediately pick up the new limit for the given group name. --delete deletes the group with the given name if it isn't used anymore. Trying to delete a still used group will result in an error. Example: VBoxManage bandwidthctl "Test VM" --name Limit --add disk --limit 20 Creates a group named Test having a 20 MB/s limit. VBoxManage storageattach "Test VM" --storagectl "SATA Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium test.vdi --bandwidthgroup Limit Adds a new disk to the SATA controller and assigns the bandwidth group Limit to it. VBoxManage storageattach "Test VM" --storagectl "SATA Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium test.vdi --bandwidthgroup none Removes the bandwidth limit from the disk. VBoxManage bandwidthctl "Test VM" --name Limit --add disk --limit 10 Changes the limit of bandwidth group Limit to 10 MB/s. If the VM is running the limit will be picked up immediately.
