Research direction
Search the Go plugin for validation of gfx_controller and compare its allowed values with the linked VirtualBox 7.1 reference. Add coverage for QemuRamFB and run the relevant plugin tests; done means the configuration is accepted for VBox 7.1.x.

Description
In VBox 7.1.x the graphics controller option gained QemuRamFB as a valid choice, but packer says it's not a valid value.

QemuRamFB is apparently required to successfully boot arm64 machines using VBox 7.2+ under macOS.
Potential configuration
gfx_controller = "QemuRamFB"
