Implements a flexible node ID generation system that: 1. Tries to read from a persistent node ID file 2. Falls back to MAC address from network interface 3. Falls back to machine-id (for systemd systems) 4. Finally generates and persists a random node ID This makes the verification service more portable and removes the hard dependency on systemd's machine-id. Fixes veraison#124 Signed-off-by: Sukuna0007Abhi <[email protected]>

I am hesitant about this.
- The order of inteface may change (e.g. if someone adds a PCI network card to their machine).
- In virtualized environments, MAC cannot be rilied on to be sufficiently unique.
I think might be better to remove this.

Since we already depend on github.com/google/uuid, instead of doing this, you could just do uuid.New()

Title: feat: Remove dependency on machine-id
Description:
This PR implements a flexible node ID generation system to remove the hard dependency on systemd's machine-id. The new system provides multiple fallback methods to ensure reliable node identification across different environments.
Implementation details:
Key improvements:
Added new files:
Modified:
This makes the verification service more portable and removes the hard dependency on systemd's machine-id while maintaining backward compatibility.
Fixes #124
Ready for Review sir @thomas-fossati @setrofim @yogeshbdeshpande
