[PATCH V2] libnvme: Introduce functions to generate host identifier and host NQN

The nvmf_hostid_generate() function generates a machine specific
host identifier. This is useful when the host ID can't be derived
from an NQN that doesn't contain a UUID.
Also, add nvmf_hostnqn_generate_from_hostid() to explicitly set UUID
when hostid is not NULL.
