When built with ut uid-1.3.12, generate more random UUIDs than before
Use nextRandom to generate the random UUID, rather than using randomIO. This gets fixes for the following two bugs in the uuid library. However, this did not impact git-annex much, so a hard depedency has not been added on uuid-1.3.12. https://github.com/aslatter/uuid/issues/15 "v4 UUIDs are not that random" This doesn't greatly affect git-annex, because even with only 2^64 possible UUIDs, the chance that two git-annex repositories that are clones of the same git repo get the same UUID is miniscule. And, git-annex generates only one UUID per run, so preducting subsequent UUIDs is not a problem. https://github.com/aslatter/uuid/issues/16 "Remove Random instance for UUID, or mark it as deprecated" git-annex was using that instance; let's stop before it gets deprecated or removed.
