vmdk: Use g_random_int to generate CID

Browse source 
This replaces two "time(NULL)" invocations with "g_random_int()".
According to VMDK spec, CID "is a random 32‐bit value updated the first
time the content of the virtual disk is modified after the virtual disk
is opened". Using "seconds since epoch" is just a "lame way" to generate
it, and not completely safe because of the low precision.
