kernel-install: support the case /etc/machine-id is missing or empty (#5975)
Some .install plugins does not require that machine ID is set such as 20-grubby.install for Fedora and 50-depmod.install. To support such plugins to run without valid machine-id, this commit makes the following change: * if /etc/machine-id is missing or empty, create temporary directory and set its path to BOOT_DIR_ABS, * run the .install helpers with KERNEL_INSTALL_MACHINE_ID environment variable that'd be empty if /etc/machine-id is missing or empty. This may be useful for installing kernel for e.g. stateless systems which initialize machine-id while booting the systems.
