6f7c3bdd63 If available, take UUID from smbios.system.uuid, if not fall back to
software-generated UUID. Store the result in /etc/hostid and use it in
the future. Perform simple UUID format check, as there is a lot of
hardware with broken UUIDs. The check should be improved to also eliminate
fake UUIDs like 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.

d5ec19ea68 Add rc.d/hostid script (turned on by default) which on first boot generates
UUID and stores it in /etc/hostid ($hostid_file) as well as sets kern.hostuuid
and kern.hostid sysctls on every boot.

Hostid can be reset using '/etc/rc.d/hostid reset' command.

Hostid generation and setting can be turned off by setting variable
hostid_enable to "NO" in /etc/rc.conf.
