There's no /etc/machine-id in my beowulf that was an upgrade from
refracta ascii or in the beowulf live iso that I just made with
live-sdk.

Refractasnapshot excludes /var/lib/dbus/machine-id and blanks
/etc/machine-id if it's present.

Refractainstaller excludes /var/lib/dbus/machine-id and does nothing
with /etc/machine-id.

Isos made with live-sdk will have /var/lib/dbus/machine-id, and it's
the same number every boot unless we remove the file. I just added 'rm
-f /var/lib/dbus/machine-id' to blend_finalize() and now the iso has a
different machine-id on every boot.

If /etc/machine-id is missing, systemd-journald will fail. If the file
is empty, it'll get a new number. (That doesn't concern us, but
there's code for it in refractasnapshot because people use that on
debian with systemd.)
