Added liveid parametre

adrian15sgd requested to merge adrian15sgd-guest/live-boot:add_liveid_support into master

Using liveid=/LIVEID/A2345678/B2345678/C2345678/D2345678 will enable live-boot to find the correct media to boot.

The correct media is found if the /LIVEID/A2345678/B2345678/C2345678/D2345678 file is found in it.

If the correct media is not found live-boot refuses to continue and warns the user with the default message when the media cannot be found.

If the correct media is found boot is going to work from that specific media.

If liveid parametre is not used live-boot will work as always.

This is useful when you have several USB pendrives connected to the same machine which are built thanks to live-build / live-boot. They can be mixed because live-boot is going to try to find the first media that has an squashfs (or other type of images) image on it.

Now it has an additional check for searching for that UUID alike file.
