Daniel P. Berrange 85bd57388e Convert 'int i' to 'size_t i' in src/vbox/ files
Convert the type of loop iterators named 'i', 'j', k',
'ii', 'jj', 'kk', to be 'size_t' instead of 'int' or
'unsigned int', also santizing 'ii', 'jj', 'kk' to use
the normal 'i', 'j', 'k' naming

    Explanation about the how multi-version support
    for VirtualBox libvirt driver is implemented.

Since VirtualBox adds multiple new features for each release, it is but
natural that the C API which VirtualBox exposes is volatile across
versions and thus needs a good mechanism to handle multiple versions
during runtime. The solution was something like this:

Firstly the file structure is as below:

vbox_CAPI_v2_2.h
vbox_XPCOMCGlue.h
vbox_XPCOMCGlue.c
These files are C API/glue code files directly taken from the
VirtualBox OSE source and is needed for C API to work as expected.

vbox_driver.h
vbox_driver.c
These files have the main logic for registering the virtualbox driver
with libvirt.

vbox_V2_2.c
The file which has version dependent changes and includes the template
file for given below for all of its functionality.

vbox_tmpl.c
The file where all the real driver implementation code exists.

Now there would be a vbox_V*.c file (for eg: vbox_V2_2.c for V2.2) for
each major virtualbox version which would do some preprocessor magic
and include the template file (vbox_tmpl.c) in it for the functionality
it offers.
