man: document that it is guaranteed that generated ID128 are never all-zero or all-one

This is the case because the ID128 we generate are all marked as v4 UUID
which requires that some bits are zero and others are one. Let's
document this so that people can rely on SD_ID128_NULL being a special
value for "uninitialized" that is always distinguishable from generated
UUIDs.
