chore: remove uuid dependency in favor of crypto package

[lance]

Proposed Changes

As of Node.js 14.17.0 the crypto package has a randomUUID() function
which we can use to replace our external dependency.

Note that this change removes support for Node.js 12.x which is not yet EOL. We may want to consider holding off on this until April 2022 when that happens.

I would probably wait a while after Node.js 12 goes EOL before you land this so developer have time to migrate.

As mentioned, I don't recommend removing support for Maintenance LTS versions of Node. This is a good reference, but we shouldn't remove this version from support or tests.

For example, many customers are still running Node 10 applications and haven't upgraded their Node version.

Yikes! That's been EOL for a while. In any case, y'all are probably right. I was just eager to show that we don't like to carry a lot of dependencies and a willingness to remove them. :)
