Please add the fact that WSL2 is not co-exists with VirtualBox 6.0.x #536

Description

@rengui

wsl2-faq Will I be able to run WSL 2 and other 3rd party virtualization tools such as VMware, or VirtualBox? states:

......and versions of VirtualBox before VirtualBox 6 (VirtualBox 6.0.0 released in December 2018 now supports Hyper-V as a fallback execution core on a Windows host!)

This is quite misleading...

according to here and here, WSL2 is still not co-exists with VirtualBox 6.0.x yet.

when WSL2 is running, starting VirtualBox 6.0.x virtual machine will failed:

Call to WHvSetupPartition failed: ERROR_SUCCESS (Last=0xc000000d/87) (VERR_NEM_VM_CREATE_FAILED).
Result Code: | E_FAIL (0x80004005)
-- | --
Component: | ConsoleWrap
Interface: | IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

I'm quite expecting WSL2 and VirtualBox 6.0 can running at the same time, but before that comes true, could you please correct the faq doc?
Thanks!
