Dynamically assign obj_id in user_configuration.json

describe the request

Currently, when using Archinstall with an user_configuration.json file, the UUID for disk partitions is hardcoded in the obj_id field. Could this UUID rather be generated during the installation process and be unique to each partition?

I think it would be great if Archinstall dynamically assigned the obj_id during the installation process, instead of hardcoding UUIDs in the configuration. This would allow for more adaptable configurations and would be helpful for those who want to automate the installation process across multiple systems without needing to manually update UUIDs every time.

Technically speaking, the reason why UUID has to be there is if you want to reuse a partition. In all other instances, that field won't be used I believe even if it's there.

To clarify, obj_id is NOT the UUID of the partition. It is a unique internal identifier to correlate the partitions in the user_configuration.json with potential partitions listed in the user_credentials.json under the encryption block.
So there is no hardcoding of any UUIDs, we don't generate our own UUIDs for paritions
