QLockFile/Unix: save the boot and machine IDs in the lock file too

This allows us to make sure that the PID we read is from the same boot
as we are right now running. The collision could happen on embedded
systems where the boot sequence is fixed, so all the same processes
would have the exact same PIDs after reboot as they did before.

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QLockFile] QLockFile can now properly conclude that
a lock file from a previous boot of the same device is stale and can be
removed. This is implemented only for Linux and Apple operating systems.
