[BUG] Can't get Linux plugin to connect to the node

[Davide-DD]

Describe the bug
When I try to run Linux plugin, it throws an exception and exit.

To Reproduce

1. Launch YAKS
2. Launch fagent
3. Launch Linux plugin
   Linux_log.txt

Expected behavior
I expected to connect the plugin to the node.

Desktop

• OS: Linux Ubuntu
• Version: 16.04
• Involved plugin: Linux

Additional context
This bug happened after I pulled the last changes of the repo and reinstalled everything (commit 02d6598, July 8th).

The same happens with Linuxbridge

I finally discovered why... Now, the ID in /etc/machine-id is formatted as a valid UUID before registering the agent to YAKS, therefore, even if the ID in /etc/machine-id is copied to linux_plugin.json, it's not transformed to a valid UUID before the copy and it will not match the agent UUID. To solve, I made a little modification to fos_install.sh and to Linuxbridge and LXD makefiles, in order to transform machine-id to a valid UUID and then copy it to the destination JSON file: if you think that it can be useful, @gabrik, I can upload the modifications I made.

Thanks @Davide-DD, yes, the update on the UUID was done some commit ago, that was in order to use standard UUID4 format.

Perfect! I'll keep this opened so I can reference it in the PR.
