uuidd: Avoid race conditions to that only one uuidd is started

Use an improved locking protocol based on the pid file to assure that
only one uuidd is started.  Apparently the kernel does not prevent
multiple processes from racing to bind to a Unix domain socket.

/var/lib/misc/uuid-clock so that if the time goes backwards the clock
sequence counter can get bumped.  This allows us to completely
correctly generate time-based (version 1) UUID's according to the
