Web: Clarify that `OS.get_unique_id` is not supported

Remove the base error message in `OS`, we no longer really error out this
way for not implemented methods. Instead, each platform should override them
to provide the context they want.

Fixes #82439.

 				Returns a string that is unique to the device.
 				[b]Note:[/b] This string may change without notice if the user reinstalls/upgrades their operating system or changes their hardware. This means it should generally not be used to encrypt persistent data as the data saved before an unexpected ID change would become inaccessible. The returned string may also be falsified using external programs, so do not rely on the string returned by [method get_unique_id] for security purposes.
