reset hostid for dhcp

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/419321/why-are-my-cloned-linux-vms-fighting-for-the-same-ip

systemd-networkd uses a different method to generate the DUID than dhclient. dhclient by default uses the link-layer address while systemd-networkd uses the contents of /etc/machine-id. Since the VMs were cloned, they have the same machine-id and the DHCP server returns the same IP for both. To fix, replace the contents of one or both of /etc/machine-id. This can be anything, but deleting the file and running systemd-machine-id-setup will create a random machine-id in the same way done on machine setup.
