vm: 'vm-image' images refer to the root file system by UUID.
This avoids the hard-coded "/dev/sda1", which only made sense when the image is run with "qemu-system-x86_64 -hda", not when it's passed to Xen, etc. Reported by Andreas Enge <andreas@enge.fr>. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image): Define 'root-uuid', use it as the 'device' field for "/", and pass it to 'qemu-image'.
