As the ability to easily determine or specify the UUID of the file-system eases working with some bootloaders, this patch adds printing of the UUID upon file system creation with the other information and allows for the UUID to be specified as a command-line parameter.
Whether specified or automatically generated, the UUID is now printed with the Label and other creation information.
The parsing of command-line supplied UUIDs is relatively forgiving, allowing dash-separated values or not.
The default UUID generation remains unchanged as the hash of the file-system label.
