Better handle creation of UUID for claiming. (#11974)

* Properly check for the availability of `uuidgen` before blindly using it. * Fall back on Linux to the kernel-provided interface for generating UUIDs if `uuidgen` is not present. * Provide a more useful error message if we can’t use either option.
