virtualbox: build BIOS from C instead of alternative sources
VirtualBox ships with "alternative BIOS sources" for its virtual BIOS. These are generated by first compiling the BIOS C sources with the Open Watcom toolchain, disassembling the output and checking in the disassembly into the VirtualBox repo. The result means that the BIOS C code cannot be patched, because it's not compiled from the C sources, if Open Watcom is not there. As Open Watcom is now available in nixpkgs, we can just ignore the alternative BIOS sources and compile it from C directly.
