Message:

Main/Python: Big revamp to modernize our vboxapi Python package to now use a so-called src-layout, which also can be used with pip directly. Also added compatibility w/ Python 3.12 where distutils are not shipped anymore. We also now do have automatic linting for our code, which hopefully should improve quality in this area. Moved some Python-related files into an own sub folder so that it's more clear to which these belong to. The "sdk/installer" directories also have an own "python" sub directory where the stuff resides now. The Windows installer also uses "sdk/installer" instead of "sdk/install", to match the other platforms. bugref:10579
