File cxx17.patch of Package virtualbox

The code uses <filesystem>, so ensure we always use -std=c++17 at the
very least.

Prior to C++17, noexcept cannot be part of a type alias, and so is
not part of the function signature, and so is not part of the ABI.

In C++17, noexcept is significant. There is a compile error because
the FNCONSUMER alias as defined in a .h file does not match the
function body in a .cpp file.

The def file is also wrong, but no one at virtualbox.org noticed for
some reason, even though the def mismatch also caused a link/build
failure in its own right.

To resolve the mismatch between .cpp/.h, the function signature is
augmented by RT_NOEXCEPT, based upon the function head being the
authoritative source as to whether something was meant to be noexcept
or not.

In turn, adding RT_NOEXCEPT causes a change in the ABI of VBoxRT.so.
The closed-source VirtualBox extension pack does not expect that and
is unable to load [LD_BIND_NOW=1]. To resolve _that_, we add extra
symbol aliases.
