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
* The values produced by Uuidx.make_uuid_urnd hadn't necessarily been
  valid UUIDs, since the variant and version fields were being filled in
  randomly - this is now fixed so that it returns v4 UUIDs.
* There are a couple of functions for generating v4 and v7 from known
  inputs, for the purpose of unit testing. (The v4 function is mainly
  there so I could check the setting of variant and version fields by
  comparing the output with that which Python's UUID module produces.)
