IH-577 Implement v7 UUID generation

* New function Uuidx.make_v7_uuid, with the idea being that ordering v7
  UUIDs alphabetically will also order them by creation time. This
  requires uuidm v0.9.9, as that contains the code for constructing a
  v7 UUID from a time and some random bytes.
* There is a function for generating v7 from known inputs, for the
  purpose of unit testing. Arguably this is pointless to have unit tests
  for third-party code, but the tests were written to test code that was
  submitted to uuidm only later, and I'm always loathe to delete tests.
