Bug #13051: Support uniqueid on FreeBSD; support hostuuid on FreeBSD (but 
should be generalized)

Modern machines come with a burned-in UUID, which some people use for tracking 
in the same way that the burned-in MAC address is often used.  In FreeBSD this 
is accessible via a sysctl; on other systems you may need to run dmidecode to 
suck it out of the DMI data.  Windows cares about it a lot as well.

In addition, FreeBSD supports hostids, although there is no hostid(1) command 
(you have to use sysctl kern.hostid).

Support both of these for FreeBSD.
