If for some reason the uuidd daemon or the process calling uuidd
exited unexpectely, the read_all() function would end up looping
forever, either in uuidd or in libuuid. Fix this terminating the loop
if no data can be read after five tries to read from the file
descriptor.

In the event that file descriptors 0-2 are closed when uuidd is
started, the server socket could be created as a file descriptor that
will get closed when create_daemon() tries detaching the uuidd daemon
from its controlling tty. Avoid this case by using dup(2).
