improve propriety UUID generation

UUID generation is not random enough and may generate in some circumstances
duplicate UUIDs

I was thinking first to use the native PG UUID generator but this seems
complex since the UUID generator functions are provided as a PG
extension that only a super user DB role can install and even if we
handled that in engine-setup, it will solve only local provisioned DB.

In this patch I suggest the following improvements to the
uuid_generate_v1 function

1) Setting a seed before using the random() function
2) Generating the first 8 characters using the clock timestamp value
3) Improve randomness of other generated values

I believe that the above is a pretty simple solution that is sufficient
for our needs
