Change source of unique host id for identification #10

Network card hardware addresses are not a good source of unique IDs, because hosts might be reinstalled (different instance), or they might be non-existent (OpenVZ containers). Use unique host UUID instead provided by DebOps 'root.yml' playbook to bind generated certificates to a host for identification.
