Change Unix default server.id to be unique to support remote depots
and P4AUTH.  This default is a defacto standard, and thus using a
more unique value should be promoted.

Optionally, we may want a truly unique identifier, e.g.
master.${SDP_INSTANCE}.${SOME_UUID}.  Given that many SDP instances
in the wild use the default instance name of '1', and the
frequency of cororate mergers, the SDP_INSTANCE may not be unique
enough.  But remote depots and P4AUTH are infrequently used.

See also: SDP-235 for the core-windows component.
22569Changed default (and defacto standard) value for server.id
of a master server to make it unique by incorporating the
SDP_INSTANCE name.  So for instance 'fgs', the server.id
would not be 'master.fgs' instead of just 'master'.

This is necessary to enable remote depots, which won't
work if two servers involved in remote depot sharing
have the same server.id.
