extension packs are not deleted

[Stéphane Charette]

Just noticed in my ~/.VirtualBox directory that I have 21 files named "Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-x.x.x.vbox-extpack". Would be nice if these were auto deleted, especially since between 10M and 18M each in size ends up taking quite of bit of disk space on the host.

VBox 5.1.6 should take care of these leftovers.
