    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)
