Ignore test failure when reiser4 reports null UUID (#145)

The GitLab CI ubuntu_test job has occasionally been failing like this,
perhaps once every few weeks or so.

    [ RUN      ] My/SupportedFileSystemsTest.CreateAndReadUUID/reiser4
    test_SupportedFileSystems.cc:569: Failure
    Expected: (m_partition.uuid.size()) >= (9U), actual: 0 vs 9
    [  FAILED  ] My/SupportedFileSystemsTest.CreateAndReadUUID/reiser4, where GetParam() = 24 (17 ms)
    [----------] 1 test from My/SupportedFileSystemsTest (17 ms total)

Turns out there are 2 bugs in resier4progs.  One causes debugfs.reiser4
to report a null UUID if the first byte of the UUID happens to be zero
[1], and the other cases mkfs.resier4 to write a corrupted UUID,
sometimes a null (all zeros) UUID [2].

There is a 1 in 256 chance of getting a null UUID [2] when creating and
reading a reiser4 file system, hence the occasional failure of the CI
job.  The centos_test job isn't affected because CentOS doesn't have the
reiser4progs package.

Fix this by detecting when reiser4 reports a null UUID and assign a
dummy UUID to make the test pass.  This does mean that there is a 1 in
256 chance of not detecting a true failure.  However that still means
there is a 255 in 256 chance of detecting a true failure.  That's good
odds.  When a null UUID is detected for a reiser4 file system the test
output looks like this:

    [ RUN      ] My/SupportedFileSystemsTest.CreateAndReadUUID/reiser4
    test_SupportedFileSystems.cc:580: Ignore test failure of a null UUID.
    [       OK ] My/SupportedFileSystemsTest.CreateAndReadUUID/reiser4 (46 ms)

    Fix up repair_master_print()

    Stop occasionally making file systems with null UUIDs
