kvm: Present the UUID of the VM as serial through smbios information (#9236)
This PR makes sure a KVM VM gets the UUID of the VM as a static serialnumber through smbios.
Some applications on primarily Windows servers require a stable serial number for licensing purposes. By providing this serial number we can make sure these applications can have a license configured.
