[PATCH 4/4] Need better validation of <sysinfo> uuid

[John Ferlan <jferlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If the <sysinfo> system table 'uuid' field is improperly formatted,
then qemu will fail to start the guest with the error:

virsh start dom
error: Failed to start domain dom
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: Invalid SMBIOS UUID string

In this case the "system_uuid" field was a94b4335-6a14-8bc4-d6da-f7ea590b68-16
which passed the virUUIDParse() code because 32 hexadecimal digits were found
and the extra hyphen in the last section was ignored.

Add checks to not only parse the read field, but then use virUUIDFormat() to
validate that what gets formatted matches what was read - if not, then fail
the edit.
