Michael Vogt 0a2e0bb3d2 stages: add org.osbuild.machine-id stage
This is a variation of PR https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild/pull/960
that put the machine-id handling into it's own stage and adds
explicit handling what should happen with it.

For machine-id(5) we essentially want the following three states
implemented:

1. `first-boot: yes` will ensure that /etc/machine-id is
   in the "uninitialized" state. This means on boot the systemd
   `ConditionFirstBoot` is triggered and a new id in `/etc/machine-id`
   is created. This will work for systemd v247+.
2. `first-boot: no` will ensure that /etc/machine-id exists but
   is empty. This will trigger the creation of a new machine-id but
   will *not* trigger `ConditionFirstBoot`.
3. `first-boot: preserve` will just keep the existing machine-id.
   Note that it will error if there is no /etc/machine-id

Note that the `org.osbuild.rpm` will also create a
`{tree}/etc/machine-id` while it runs to ensure that postinst
scripts will not fail that rely on this file. This is an
implementation detail but unfortunately the rpm stage will
leave an empty machine-id file if it was missing. So we cannot
just remove /etc/machine-id because any following rpm stage
would re-create it again (and we cannot change that without
breaking backward compatiblity). Thanks to the special semantic
that a missing /etc/machine-id and an /etc/machine-id with
the `uninitialized` string are equivalent we don't care.

To support systemd versions below v247 we could offer an option
to remove /etc/machine-id. But the downside of this is that
it would only work if the org.osbuild.machine-id stage is after
the rpm stage.
