A new helper for the util.linux module which exposes the linux boot-id.
For security reasons, the boot-id is never exposed directly, but
instead only exposed through an application-id combined with the boot-id
via HMAC-SHA256.
Note that a raw kernel boot-id is always considered confidential, since
we never want an outside entity to deduce any information when they see
a boot-id used in protocol A and one in protocol B. It should not be
possible to tell whether both are from the same user and boot or not.
Hence, both should use their own boot-id namespace.
