I agree with respect to the dedicated encode_uuid and decode_uuid functions.

But I think having postgres support base32hex in encode/decode for
bytea seems like a sensible thing in any case. As well as conversion
between UUID and bytea. If someone wants to create patches for that,
it seems like there'd be enough support for those to get them merged.
