Description

/opt/rudder/bin/uuidgen: line 9: makeuuid: command not found

The uuidgen binary in /opt/rudder/bin should not ne balled uuigden since it does not have the same API as the read uuidgen binary.

Let's call it rudder-uuidgen.

Then it should be the only way to generate uuid, called by all other places that need. Thus it could contain all the smart thing we want to rudder the right uuid generation method depending on the situation.

Target version set to 4.0.0~rc2

The file /opt/rudder/bin/uuidgen should not be installed on SLES. It should only be installed on AIX. This comes from the use of a single Makefile in master:
https://github.com/Normation/rudder-packages/blob/master/rudder-agent/SOURCES/Makefile#L189

Please also add a comment in the uuidgen file to explain this should only be used on AIX. And actually add a check, and if the OS has a uuidgen command use it, and only use our workaround if not.
