            Log:
            Add a vboxclient.service which runs VBoxClient --vwsvga when using the
  VMSVGA virtual GPU, this fixes resizing in wayland sessions (rhbz 1789545)
Drop VBoxClient --vwsvga-x11 from VBoxClient-all, it is not necessary
  now that we run VBoxClient --vwsvga as service and it was breaking resize
  support with the VBoxSVGA virtual GPU (rhbz 1789545)
Drop ExecStartPre modprove vboxvideo vboxsf from vboxservice.service,
  this is not necessary, they will be loaded automatically
