    emulators/virtualbox-ose{,-legacy}: Limit python to 3.10-3.11
    
    This is temporary workaround for build error:

                    if (PyUnicode_GET_SIZE(val_use) == 0) {

    Support for the python 3.12+ was added in the VirtualBox 7.0.
    Maybe I'll partially port this in older VirtualBox ports later.
