haiku's vmdks share their disk UUIDs

Description

http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/build/scripts/build_haiku_image#L246 we don't specify a uuid that http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/tools/vmdkimage/vmdkimage.cpp will use so it uses the hardcoded one. This leads to issues if you want to use more than one nightly vmdk inside virtualbox, it will error unless you modify the UUID yourself.

Build-O-matic should also use whatever method is defined for the jamrule to specify a random UUID. (Or make this the default behaviour everywhere.)

After doing some research, the default behavior of having the same uuid is intentional. When you build Haiku yourself, you don't want virtualbox/vmware to complain that the UUID has changed everytime you run a build.

For the buildbots this would be different, but due to disk space concerns, the buildbots now only ship the anyboot image.
