Correct that POSIX reserved all _t (which is a bit broad, oh well), and
also correct that we can take the risk of using it anyways (but if POSIX
ever standardizes something, we get to keep both of our broken pieces).

I thought our coding standard preferred QemuUUID or something similar in
camelcase, rather than lower case.  But now we are just painting a
bikeshed, so I won't strongly object.
