d26554f38d vbox: support symlinks on host file system
Before this commit, symbolic links in shared folders lead to the use of
unimplemented functions, ie., halted the VMM.

366bba0227 Exclude higher-level repos from strict warnings
This is a follow-up commit to "Increase default warning level", which
overrides Genode's new default warning level for targets contained in
higher-level repositories. By explicitly whitelisting all those targets,
we can selectively adjust them to the new strictness over time - by
looking out for 'CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT' in the target description files.

d7f0cb5463 vbox5: use gip thread also for timer watchdog
causes the rem timer callback pending check to run more often (every 1 ms
instead 10 ms). This is essential to met the timeout requirements of the
audio backend, which must be checked&run every 5ms.

71b621775b vbox: remove USB (OHCI) pass-through support
The usage of the USBProxyDevice is no longer necessary because USB
pass-through is now supported by using the xHCI device model.

88034ef836 vbox: enable USB (OHCI) pass-through support
The information about connected devices is obtained from a ROM file named
'usb_devices', which is supposed to contain a device list as in the device
report generated by the USB driver (see issue #1506).

A policy for 'report_rom' would look like:

<policy label="vbox -> usb_devices" report="usb_drv -> devices"/>

If the 'usb_devices' ROM file is not available, a warning message gets
printed and VirtualBox continues without USB pass-through support.

The devices to be passed-through need to have a matching device filter in
the '.vbox' file. Example:

<USB>
    <DeviceFilters>
        <DeviceFilter name="USB Scanner" active="true" vendorId="04a9"
                      productId="2220" remote="0"/>
    </DeviceFilters>
</USB>

The feature was tested with HID devices (mouse, keyboard) and a flatbed
scanner. Mass storage devices didn't work correctly (they also didn't work
with VirtualBox on Linux without the closed-source extension pack).

It should be made sure that the USB driver does not try to control the
devices to be passed-through itself, for example, when passing-through
a HID device, the '<hid/>' config option should not be set.

ca971bbfd8 Move repositories to 'repos/' subdirectory
This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
