Add gen_random_uuid function

Browse Source 
This adds a built-in function to generate UUIDs.

PostgreSQL hasn't had a built-in function to generate a UUID yet,
relying on external modules such as uuid-ossp and pgcrypto to provide
one.  Now that we have a strong random number generator built-in, we
can easily provide a version 4 (random) UUID generation function.

This patch takes the existing function gen_random_uuid() from pgcrypto
and makes it a built-in function.  The pgcrypto implementation now
internally redirects to the built-in one.
