uuid: hoist uuid_is_null() helper from libnvdimm

Hoist the libnvdimm helper as an inline helper to linux/uuid.h
using an auxiliary const variable uuid_null in lib/uuid.c.

[hch: also add the guid variant.  Both do the same but I'd like
to keep casts to a minimum]

The common helper uses the new abstract type uuid_t * instead of
u8 *.
