Hello.

After some discussion with other developpers, we agreed on the following 
plan:
- ensure HARDWARE/UUID is really unique among all machines, either 
physical or virtual
- drop HARDWARE/VMID as confusing
- ensure hosts know their guests UUIDs, to allow relationships to be 
established on GLPI

Our specification 
(http://www.fusioninventory.org/documentation/dev/spec/protocol/inventory) 
has been updated, and the following commits implements the change:
