Add min() and max() aggregate support for uuid.
The uuid type already has a full set of comparison operators and a
btree operator class, so it is totally ordered. min() and max() were
the only common aggregates missing for it. Add the uuid_larger() and
uuid_smaller() support functions and register the min(uuid) and
max(uuid) aggregates that use them.
uuid values are compared lexicographically over their 128 bits. For
UUIDv7, whose most significant bits encode a Unix timestamp, this
coincides with chronological order, so min() and max() return the
oldest and newest values.
Bump catalog version.
