docs: Automatically updates already installed Guest Additions in a VM.
          
          At the moment only Windows guests are supported.
          
          Because the VirtualBox Guest Additions drivers are not WHQL-certified
          yet there might be warning dialogs during the actual Guest Additions
          update. These need to be confirmed manually in order to continue the
          installation process. This applies to Windows 2000 and Windows XP guests
          and therefore these guests can't be updated in a fully automated fashion
          without user interaction. However, to start a Guest Additions update for
          the mentioned Windows versions anyway, the flag
          AdditionsUpdateFlag_WaitForUpdateStartOnly can be specified. See
          :py:class:`AdditionsUpdateFlag`  for more information.
  
          in source of type str
              Path to the Guest Additions .ISO file to use for the update.
  
          in arguments of type str
              Optional command line arguments to use for the Guest Additions
              installer. Useful for retrofitting features which weren't installed
              before in the guest.
  
          in flags of type :class:`AdditionsUpdateFlag`
              :py:class:`AdditionsUpdateFlag`  flags.
  
          return progress of type :class:`IProgress`
              Progress object to track the operation completion.
  
          raises :class:`VBoxErrorNotSupported`
              Guest OS is not supported for automated Guest Additions updates or the
  already installed Guest Additions are not ready yet.
          
          raises :class:`VBoxErrorIprtError`
              Error while updating.
