protocol: define UUID textual format #12

@lucab

Description

@lucab

Airlock uses node UUID to identify HTTP clients and lock holders. However, when serialized to textual form, UUID may have several representations. In particular, there are two that are relevant here:

  • canonical form: 28c20a4a-64dd-488d-925c-1d591637ca8e
  • systemd form: 28c20a4a64dd488d925c1d591637ca8e

Dashes are just visual sugar for humans. Systemd uses the non-dashed form everywhere by default.
We should pick one of the two forms, document it, and use it everywhere in an uniform way.
