I'm wondering whether we should phase out the use of the ossp-uuid
library? (not the uuid-ossp extension)  We have had preferred
alternatives for a while now, so it shouldn't be necessary to use this
anymore, except perhaps in some marginal circumstances?  As we know,
ossp-uuid isn't maintained anymore, and a few weeks ago the website was
gone altogether, but it seems to be back now.

I suggest we declare it deprecated in PG12 and remove it altogether in PG13.
