Add gen_random_uuid() to contrib/pgcrypto.

This function provides a way of generating version 4 (pseudorandom) UUIDs
based on pgcrypto's PRNG.  The main reason for doing this is that the
OSSP UUID library depended on by contrib/uuid-ossp is becoming more and
more of a porting headache, so we need an alternative for people who can't
install that.  A nice side benefit though is that this implementation is
noticeably faster than uuid-ossp's uuid_generate_v4() function.
