uuidx: Modern UUIDs for R with a Rust Backend

Generate, parse, and validate RFC 9562 UUIDs from R using the Rust 'uuid' crate via 'extendr'. Developed by Thomas Bryce Kelly at Icy Seas Co-Laboratory LLC. Version 7 UUIDs are the default for new identifiers, while versions 4, 5, 6, and legacy version 1 are also supported. Functions return character vectors by default and can also expose 16-byte raw representations for low-level workflows.
