This update for virtualbox fixes the following issues:

• Version bump to 6.1.20 (released April 20 2021 by Oracle) Fixes boo#1183329 'virtualbox 6.1.18 crashes when it runs nested VM' Fixes boo#1183125 'Leap 15.3 installation in Virtualbox without VBox integration' Fixes CVE-2021-2264 and boo#1184542. The directory for the <user>.start files for autostarting VMs is moved from /etc/vbox to /etc/vbox/autostart.d. In addition, the autostart service is hardened (by Oracle).
• change the modalias for guest-tools and guest-x11 to get them to autoinstall.
• Own %{_sysconfdir}/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d as default packages (eg systemd) no longer do so, breaking package build.
• Update fixes_for_leap15.3 for kernel API changes between 5.3.18-45 and 5.3.18-47.
• update-extpack.sh: explicitly use https:// protocol for authenticity. The http:// URL is currently redirected to https:// but don't rely on this.
• Add code to generate guest modules for Leap 15.2 and Leap 15.3. The kernel versions do not allow window resizing. Files 'virtualbox-kmp-files-leap' and 'vboxguestconfig.sh' are added
• Fixes CVE-2021-2074, boo#1181197 and CVE-2021-2129, boo#1181198.
• Under some circumstances, shared folders are mounted as root.

These are all security issues fixed in the python3-virtualbox-6.1.26-3.2 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.
