Description

#### Overview of the Issue

Running packer on a host indirectly. I'm seeing a warning that looks like it is causing a parsing error. when doing a `VBoxManage --version`.

This is the error:

Error reading version for guest additions download: No version found: WARNING: Environment variable LOGNAME or USER does not correspond to effective user id. 7.0.16r162802

#### Reproduction Steps

I'm only able reproduce using this indirect call to packer through another tool. Error seems to be here:
https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-virtualbox/blob/54c5a2462f860ba5f18d5817b83f51f8eed2f962/builder/virtualbox/common/driver_4_2.go#L321 when a string is prepended to the version.

### Plugin and Packer version

Packer v1.10.2

### Simplified Packer Buildfile
