[qemu-proc-spec] Add -uuid to the arguments

[xmkg]

-uuid makes the /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid present in the VM which is required by some tools.

Closes: #2586

Description

• Adds -uuid parameter generated from the VM name to the QEMU args.
• Some workflows require /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid to be present on the VM, which is possible via passing the -uuid flag to the QEMU process.

Closes #2586

Testing

• Manual testing steps:

  1. Build Multipass from main, launch a VM in either Linux or macOS with the QEMU backend, and observe that the /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid is missing on the VMs
  2. Build Multipass from this branch, launch a VM in either Linux or macOS with the QEMU backend, and observe that the /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid is present.
  3. Reboot the VM from step 2, and observe that the /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid value does not change.
  4. Boot another VM, observe that the /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid value is different from the launched VM in step 2.

Thanks for taking the initiative to fix this @xmkg. I have a few questions inline.

[ricab]

A few questions regarding effects on clones:

• Since their name changes from the original, clones get a new UUID, correct?
• Is that compatible with pre-existing disk contents in typical scenarios where this is relevant?
• We cause cloud-init to rerun when cloning. Is that typically enough to cascade the UUID wherever relevant?

[xmkg]

Since their name changes from the original, clones get a new UUID, correct?

Yes. It should be treated as any other instance-unique field.

Is that compatible with pre-existing disk contents in typical scenarios where this is relevant?

Yes, it is abstracted from the disk contents. In reality, it's a hardware serial-like info burned into the BIOS by the manufacturer. No disk involvement at all.

We cause cloud-init to rerun when cloning. Is that typically enough to cascade the UUID wherever relevant?

The /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid file is immediately available to queries without cloud-init to be re-run.

[ricab]

To implement instance renaming, we'll probably want to keep the UUID stable. We'd probably save it along with other instance metadata, right? Do you foresee any impediment doing that? Just to be sure.

[xmkg]

We'd probably save it along with other instance metadata, right?

That should be sufficient if we update the UUID on clone. I can't think of any potential gotchas on that.

[ricab]

This covers only the QEMU backend. What happens in other backends? Is a name-based UUID available in the new Hyper-V and AppleVZ today? If not, that's probably worth some wider team awareness and synchronizing.

[xmkg]

It should be available for all off-the-shelf hypervisors already -- the existing hyper-v implementation already does that:

ubuntu@test-vm-3:~$ sudo cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid
e190e5e1-6261-40ca-a806-1a197a1d4ca0

I don't know the specifics for Apple VZ, but I think there should be a way to set it, as it's a pretty common thing for hypervisors to do. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/vzgenericmachineidentifier looks promising, maybe @sharder996 could confirm that. I'll check the new Hyper-V implementation to make sure that it's still available.
