ID:405 - Use meaningful Generator ID for "ipmitool sel add"

Browse Source 
"ipmitool sel add" always sets the Generator ID field of the generated SEL entry
to 0x0000.

Looking at the IPMI spec v2, §13.2, this is questionable. The value 0 would be
read as a HW-generated event from IPMB with slave address 0, which is the
broadcast or ["general call"]http://www.i2c-bus.org/addressing/ address.

The spec says that the Generator ID should be "Software ID if event was
generated from system software", and goes on to say that bit 0 should be set to
1 and bit 1-7 should be set to the Software ID for software-generated events.
SEL entries generated by ipmitool will usually be software-generated.

Out of the SWIDs defined in §5.5 of the IPMI spec, "System management Software"
or "OEM" would match ipmitool's use best, thus it would make sense to set the
generator ID field to 0x0041 or 0x0061. I am using 0x0041 here.
