nspawn: rework /etc/machine-id handling
With this change we'll no longer write to /etc/machine-id from nspawn, as that breaks the --volatile= operation, as it ensures the image is never considered in "first boot", since that's bound to the pre-existance of /etc/machine-id. The new logic works like this: - If /etc/machine-id already exists in the container, it is read by nspawn and exposed in "machinectl status" and friends. - If the file doesn't exist yet, but --uuid= is passed on the nspawn cmdline, this UUID is passed in $container_uuid to PID 1, and PID 1 is then expected to persist this to /etc/machine-id for future boots (which systemd already does). - If the file doesn#t exist yet, and no --uuid= is passed a random UUID is generated and passed via $container_uuid. The result is that /etc/machine-id is never initialized by nspawn itself, thus unbreaking the volatile mode. However still the machine ID configured in the machine always matches nspawn's and thus machined's idea of it. Fixes: #3611
