kernel-install: Introduce KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID in /etc/machine-info
If KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID is defined in /etc/machine-info, prefer it
over the machine ID from /etc/machine-id. If a machine ID is defined in
neither /etc/machine-info nor in /etc/machine-id, generate a new UUID
and try to write it to /etc/machine-info as KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID
and use it as the machine ID if writing it to /etc/machine-info succeeds.
In practice, this means we have a more robust fallback if there's no
machine ID in /etc/machine-id than just using "Default" and allows
image builders to force kernel-install to use KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID
by simply writing it to /etc/machine-info themselves.
