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.
