Allow to specify more than one networking adapter for vbox

Browse Source 
Note: this patch introduces an incompatibility in the
`linuxkit run vbox` arguments.

It wasn't impossible to specify more than one network adapter
to the `linuxkit run vbox` command.

This patch allows to specify more than one `-networking` argument to specify
different network adapters.

For instance:
~~~sh
linuxkit run vbox -networking type=nat -networking type=hostonly,adapter=vboxnet0
~~~
will setup the VM with 2 NICs.

It is also possible to get rid of the `type` argument.

## Disks
The Virtualbox backend support configuring a persistent disk using the
standard `linuxkit` `-disk` syntax. Multiple disks are
standard `linuxkit` `-disk` syntax. Multiple disks are
supported and can be created in `raw` format; other formats that VirtualBox
supports can be attached

SATA Controller, unlike the VM disk which is on the IDE Controller.
## Networking
You can select the networking mode, which defaults to the standard `nat`, but
some networking modes may require additional configuration.
You can select the networking mode, which defaults to the standard `nat`, by using the
`-networking` command-line option. Some networking modes (`hostonly`, `bridge`) will require
the additional `adapter` parameter to the `-networking` option:
~~~
-networking hostonly,adapter=vboxnet0
~~~
You can specify more than one `-networking` option to setup multiple adapters. It is
recommended to setup the first adapter as `nat`.
