[PR #8510/21b16c1c backport][stable-9] Update VirtualBox Group parsing to align with documentation. (#8621)

Update VirtualBox Group parsing to align with documentation. (#8510)

* Update VirtualBox Group parsing to align with documentation.

Previously, we could separate the group string on the `/` char and
consider each element to be distinct, top-level groups. This change
implements the notion of nested groups and the use of the `,` char to
split multiple groups.

* Address code review comments.

Changed the implementation from a breaking change to a minor change by
introducing a new parameter to configure the behaviour. Keep the default
values to maintain the existing behaviour, and allow consumers an option
to opt-in.

* Fix line length.

The long lines were tripping CI. Reduce the length.

* Apply suggestions from code review

Update documentation to match expected conventions and correct the final rendered formatting.
Set the initial parent_group to `None` instead of `all` and rely on the parent class' inventory reconciliation logic to ensure consistent behaviour across different inventory plugins.

* Reword module arg description to avoid issues with CI.

One of the lines ended with a colon character which made the CI tests
fail since it would interpret it as a YAML key. Reworded the description
altogether to avoid that issue.

* Apply suggestions from code review
