VirtualBox requires additional Linux bootargs for functional display and mouse pointer

Description

The default images when run on VirtualBox do not have a mouse pointer visible.  This can be fixed if certain args are passed in.  We need to document what arg(s) are required and if possible integrate them into the build.  We also need to document the host environment and version(s) of VirtualBox tested.

Environment

None

Once the screen is in the correct orientation (aka sideways and 1080p) the mouse cursor appears in the IVI shell.

Note the only real changes is rotating the screen via "video=1336x768-32" (weird laptop resolution, but should work for 1080p) and the respective transform= in weston.ini
