util.uuid: Add UUIDv7 Allows sorting by id as a substitute for sorting by timestamp since it has the timestamp in the encoded in the first part, and only things that happen extremely close together may get out of order by such a sort, which might not matter. From draft-ietf-uuidrev-rfc4122bis formerly draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format
