[Xen-API] [xen-api-libs.hg:PATCH 0 of 2] Uuid stuff.

[<magnus.therning@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is not ready for merging, but I'd like some comments on the code
and direction.

Besides the minor clean-up (is more needed?) it introduces a new
function, make_uuid_random, which reads from /dev/random (and
therefore may block).

The plan is to change make_uuid to use the PRNG in Random, and then
modify xapi so that make_uuid_random is used where it's necessary
(creating pool secret and sessions, what else?).

Is this a direction that's worthwhile to pursue?
Would a make_uuid_urandom also be necessary?  (E.g. getting session
UUIDs from /dev/random might be too heavy weight for something that's
that short-lived.)
