Move the UUID module to a more global Utils home

Thomas Randolph requested to merge tor/maintenance/move-uuids into master

What does this MR do?

The UUIDs module was initially introduced as a subset of the Diffs app, because it wasn't clear that others would find it useful.

However, it's clear that a utility for UUIDs is useful in both the Diffs use-case (seeding the PRNG to get repeatable output) and in other use-cases (purely random identifiers matching the international format).

This MR moves the UUID utility to the /lib/utils folder to match its more general utility status.
Of course, as a result, the MR also updates every use-case to point to the correct path, which generally replaces ~/diffs/ with ~/lib/.

Screenshots (strongly suggested)

N/A, this is a minor file move refactor.
