Add function for checking file access permissions

The CanRead function checks whether a user of the local machine (specified
by name) can access a given file.

IsUserInGroup is a helper function for CanRead, but might also be used
independently, so its name does not begin with an underscore....

Add function for generating UUIDs in the Haskell codebase

Its first use will be to generate the salt for ConfD requests of the Haskell
client, as in the Python client.

Unit test added as well.

Move helper class from watcher to utils.io

“FileStatHelper” can be used together with “ReadFile” to a file's status
while it's opened. This avoids certain race conditions.

Fix queue archive creation with wrong permissions

On a master failover some of the archive dirs might have wrong

Fix WriteFile with unicode data

Unicode is fun, indeed:

len(buffer("abc"))

3

len(buffer(u"abc"))

12

So we can't pass unicode data to buffer(), as the result will be to
write the in-memory (usually UTF-32) representation to disk.
