When probing QEMU capabilities fails for a binary generate a
log message with MESSAGE_ID==8ae2f3fb-2dbe-498e-8fbd-012d40afa361.
This can be directly queried from journald based on the UUID
instead of needing string grep. This lets tools like libguestfs'
bug reporting tool trivially do automated sanity tests on the
host they're running on.

+ <p>
+ Certain areas of the code will emit log records tagged with well known
+ unique id values, which are guaranteed never to change in the future.
+ This allows applications to identify critical log events without doing
+ string matching on the <code>MESSAGE</code> field.

+ <dd>Generated by the QEMU driver when it identifies a QEMU system
+ emulator binary, but is unable to extract information about its
+ capabilities. This is usually an indicator of a broken QEMU
+ build or installation. When this is emitted, the <code>LIBVIRT_QEMU_BINARY</code>
+ message field will provide the full path of the QEMU binary that failed.

+ The <code>journalctl</code> commnd can be used to search the journal
+ matching on specific message ID values
