In this commit, we add a step in the prepare script to generate `/etc/machine-id` before the systemd package is configured in `debootstrap --second-stage`. This basically makes `systemd-machine-id-setup` a no-op when it is invoked as part of systemd's postinst script, thus avoiding the problem in issue #4016.
