MachineId (uuid-creator 5.3.3 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.github.f4b6a3.uuid.util.MachineId

```
public final class MachineId
extends Object
```
Utility for generating machine ID.
It works in three steps:
1. Create a string containing HOSTNAME, MAC and IP;
2. Create a hash of the string using SHA-256 algorithm;
3. Create the identifier using part of the resulting hash.
