This PR changes the host identifier used when gathering data for VMWare machines. Currently the code is just calling str(host) which is not reliable after a major update of the VMWare software as reported in https://github.com/SUSE/spacewalk/issues/23401
This PR uses the field uuid and provides a new field fallbackHostIdentifier with the previous value to allow uyuni to match and update the value in the database.
