[pve-devel] [PATCH installer 1/2] fix #1603: create a new and unique machine-id

[Stoiko Ivanov]

see machine-id(5). The machine-id serves as a partial replacement to the hostid
(gethostid(3)) used by systemd and should be unique, by not shipping one in the
ISO and generating one after the installation the installer ensures the
uniqueness.
