lib/uuid.c: introduce a few more generic helpers
There are new helpers in this patch: uuid_is_valid checks if a UUID is valid uuid_be_to_bin converts from string to binary (big endian) uuid_le_to_bin converts from string to binary (little endian) They will be used in future, i.e. in the following patches in the series. This also moves the indices arrays to lib/uuid.c to be shared accross modules.
