esx: Ignore malformed host UUID from BIOS

Etienne Gosset reported that libvirt fails to connect to his ESX
server because it failed to parse its malformed host UUID, that
contains an additional space and lacks one hexdigit in the last
group:

xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx- xxxxxxxxxxx

Don't treat this as a fatal error, just ignore it.
