Hi Cygwin team,

to be more compatible to Linux environment, cygwin should provide 2 more 
virtual files:

The read-only files uuid and boot_id contain random strings like 
6fd5a44b-35f4-4ad4-a9b9-6b9be13e1fe9.
The former is generated afresh for each read, the latter was generated 
once.

they could be easy provided and filled using /dev/urandom

Thanks, Alexander
