> With the recent approval of UUIDv7 
> (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9562/), this PR aims to add a new static 
> method UUID.timestampUUID() which constructs and returns a UUID in support of 
> the new time generated UUID version. 
> 
> The specification requires embedding the current timestamp in milliseconds 
> into the first bits 0–47. The version number in bits 48–51, bits 52–63 are 
> available for sub-millisecond precision or for pseudorandom data. The variant 
> is set in bits 64–65. The remaining bits 66–127 are free to use for more 
> pseudorandom data or to employ a counter based approach for increased time 
> percision (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9562.html#name-uuid-version-7).
> 
> The choice of implementation comes down to balancing the sensitivity level of 
> being able to distingush UUIDs created below <1ms apart with performance. A 
> test simulating a high-concurrency environment with 4 threads generating 
> 10000 UUIDv7 values in parallel to measure the collision rate of each 
> implementation (the amount of times the time based portion of the UUID was 
> not unique and entries could not distinguished by time) yeilded the following 
> results for each implemtation:
> 
> 
> - random-byte-only - 99.8%
> - higher-precision - 3.5%
> - counter-based - 0%
> 
> 
> Performance tests show a decrease in performance as expected with the counter 
> based implementation due to the introduction of synchronization:
> 
> - random-byte-only   143.487 ± 10.932  ns/op
> - higher-precision      149.651 ±  8.438 ns/op
> - counter-based         245.036 ±  2.943  ns/op
> 
> The best balance here might be to employ a higher-precision implementation as 
> the large increase in time sensitivity comes at a very slight performance 
> cost.
