It's going to be useful, in particular, in VMBus code massively using
uuids aka GUIDs.

sscanf is relatively loose (tolerate) on some invalid formats that we
should fail instead of generating a wrong uuid structure, like with
whitespaces and short strings.
Add and use a helper function to first check the format.

Update all qemu_uuid users as well, especially get rid of the duplicated
low level g_strdup_printf, sscanf and snprintf calls with QEMU UUID API.
Since qemu_uuid_parse is quite tangled with qemu_uuid, its switching to
QemuUUID is done here too to keep everything in sync and avoid code
churn.

So that it doesn't have to be zeroed at each call.

A number of different places across the code base use CONFIG_UUID. Some
of them are soft dependency, some are not built if libuuid is not
available, some come with dummy fallback, some throws runtime error.
It is hard to maintain, and hard to reason for users.
Since UUID is a simple standard with only a small number of operations,
it is cleaner to have a central support in libqemuutil. This patch adds
qemu_uuid_* functions that all uuid users in the code base can
rely on. Except for qemu_uuid_generate which is new code, all other
functions are just copy from existing fallbacks from other files.
Note that qemu_uuid_parse is moved without updating the function
signature to use QemuUUID, to keep this patch simple.
