I'm fine with this.

I think adding more uuid versions would probably be desirable. But I
don't think it makes sense to clutter this patchset with that. I feel
like on this uuidv7 patchset we've had enough discussion that it could
reasonably get into PG17, but I think adding even more uuid versions
to this patchset would severely reduce the chances of that happening.
