Lennart Poettering 215e19eb27 id128: clarify that the "well-known" IDs are about GPT partition types
At least for now they are all GPT partition types, and we should mention
that.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>id128</command> may be used to conveniently print
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
UUIDs. What identifier is printed depends on the specific verb.</para>
<para>With <command>new</command>, a new random identifier will be generated.</para>
<para>With <command>machine-id</command>, the identifier of the current machine will be
printed. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>With <command>boot-id</command>, the identifier of the current boot will be
printed.</para>
<para>Both <command>machine-id</command> and <command>boot-id</command> may be combined
with the <option>--app-specific=<replaceable>app-id</replaceable></option> switch to
generate application-specific IDs. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_machine</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for the discussion when this is useful.</para>
<para>With <command>invocation-id</command>, the identifier of the current service invocation
will be printed. This is available in systemd services. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>With <command>show</command>, well-known IDs are printed (for now, only GPT partition type UUIDs),
along with brief identifier strings. When no arguments are specified, all known IDs are shown. When
arguments are specified, they must be the identifiers or ID values of one or more known IDs, which are
then printed. Combine with <option>--uuid</option> to list the IDs in UUID style, i.e. the way GPT
partition type UUIDs are usually shown.</para>

identifying the application.</para>
