[Libguestfs] [PATCH libguestfs 1/2] New API: inspect_get_build_id

Add an API to return the build ID of the guest.  This to allow a
future change to be able to distinguish between Windows 10 and Windows 11
which can only be done using the build ID.

For Windows we can read the CurrentBuildNumber key from the registry.
For Linux there happens to be a BUILD_ID field in /etc/os-release.
I've never seen a Linux distro that actually uses this.
