mkarchiso: write a .uuid file to /.disk/ on ISO 9660 to allow GRUB to search for it

Create a `/.disk/INSERT_UUID_HERE.uuid` file to implement something called "file system transposition". See https://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg34346.html for the proposal of it for grub-mkrescue. This will allow GRUB to search for the volume containing the file instead of hardcoding the ISO volume label or another file system or partition attribute in GRUB configuration. By only relying on the directory structure simplifies supporting medium preparation methods with manual partitioning such as https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB_flash_installation_medium#In_GNU/Linux_4
