Summary:
Useful in some places for object uniqueness across processes.
Currently used for generating a host-wide identifier of Cache objects
but expected to be used soon in some unique id generation code.
`int64_t` is chosen for return type because POSIX uses signed integer type,
usually `int`, for `pid_t` and Windows uses `DWORD`, which is `uint32_t`.
Future work: avoid copy-pasted declarations in port_*.h, perhaps with
port_common.h always included from port.h
