Make GUID generation on POSIX compliant with GUID v4 format.

Per RFC 4122 section 4.4, the format of GUID version 4 must be
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, where y is one of [8, 9, A, B].
This CL updates base::GenerateGUID() on POSIX to be compliant with the
GUID v4 format.

This fix is proposed by Alex Vakulenko <avakulenko@chromium.org>
