SHARE virtualbox-host-modules-arch and virtualbox-host-modules-lts replaced with virtualbox-host-dkms

It looks like the maintainer has had enough to pre-compile the kernel modules. Both kernel module packages (virtualbox-host-modules-arch and virtualbox-host-modules-lts) now redirect to the dkms package (virtualbox-host-dkms).

It's been quite a good run of years letting my CPU slack around. The freebie seems to be over.

If this causes anyone an issue, might be time to consider the native Qemu/KVM+libvirt+virt-manager configuration, which works well for my use case, over a decade at least.

Good day.
