Call for testers: VirtualBox 3.1.4 update

[Alexander Zagrebin]

VirtualBox still crashes when saving state in the headless mode.

Try these commands to reproduce the bug (may be the VirtualBox needs
to be compiled without X11):

$ VBoxHeadless -s Test &
$ VBoxManage controlvm Test savestate
Sun VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.1.4_OSE
(C) 2005-2010 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
All rights reserved.

0%...10%...20%...
Error: failed to save machine state. No error message available!

The reason is an arithmetic exception (division by zero) in the
displayMakeThumbnail (src/VBox/Main/DisplayImpl.cpp, line 161)
due to cx and cy are set to 0.

cxThumbnail = (kMaxSizeThumbnail * cx) / cy;

The one of possible solutions - don't make the thumbnail (see attached patches)
