271250 - Add GUID column to t_os

Description

We need a GUID column for the web service to make sure that we only deliver
compatible extensions and themes.

Giving each OS a GUID? That seems to be a bit, outlandish of a solution,
particularly when the client doesn't understand. Firefox already has a method
for inserting a OS string for a variety of platforms. Instead of bloating it up
by adding a global identifier, try using that first. It should be unique enough.

Either way, this should sit and wait till it's needed, once a client side
implementation of Bug 255619 exists then the webservice will need to adapt and
it'd need this field.
