VirtualBox 6.1.46 released

[galitsyn]

This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:

• Guest Control/VBoxManage: Fixed parameter "--ignore-orphaned-processes"
• Guest Control/VBoxManage: Fixed behavior of how handling argument 0 for a started guest process works: One can now explicitly specify it with the newly added option "--arg0". This will effectively restore the behavior of former VirtualBox versions
• Audio: Also use the PulseAudio backend when pipewire-pulse is running instead of falling back to ALSA (bug #21575)
• NAT: Adjusted UDP proxy timeout from 18-21 to 21-24 range to respect intended 20 second timeout (bug #21560)
• Linux Host: Added initial support for Indirect Branch Tracking (NOTE: All distributions .run installer and Extension Pack in VirtualBox 6.1.x series do not support this feature, please consider upgrading to 7.0.x) (bug #21435)
• Linux Host: Added initial support for kernel 6.5 (NOTE: Guest Additions do not support kernel 6.5 yet)
• Solaris Host: Introduced general improvements in the installer area
• Linux Host and Guest: Improved condition check when kernel modules need to be signed
• Linux Host and Guest: Added initial support for RHEL 8.8 (bug #21692), 8.9 (bug #21690) and 9.3 (bug #21598) kernels
• MacOS Host and Guest: Introduced general improvements in the installer area
• Windows Host and Guest: Introduced ECDSA support (bug #21621)
