VirtualBox Guest Additions provide closer integration between host and
guest, and improve the performance of guest systems.
- Update VirtualBox OSE to 6.1.18 - Old VirtualBox OSE 5.2.44 preserved as "-legacy" versions of the ports (repocopied) - Add back extra patch removed in r528258, actually required to build DEBUG kmod - Correctly define WITH_DEBUG when enabling the DEBUG option, so binaries are not stripped Please note that this new version supports only amd64 CPUs. If you need to use older hardware please install the legacy ports. Note that moving VM snapshots across major updates is unsupported, it's strongly suggested to properly shutdown VMs before upgrading, please check UPDATING for further details. This update is the result of work from many people, and thanks to all who gave feedback and tested things. Patch based on work from: Mario Lobo <lobo@bsd.com.br> and jkim.

Non-legacy additions i.e. emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions are
recommended for most use cases.
Where legacy (5.2.x) is a requirement, this FreeBSD-provided package
can be installed in the FreeBSD guest machine.
<https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-5.2> emphasises that
5.2.x is no longer supported by Oracle.
Additions are not intended for use on Host machines.
