Naive implementation of version 4 uuid generator

v4_uuid.ts

  // & 0b00001111 replaces the first 4 bits with 0s
  // | 0b01000000 replaces the first 4 bits with 0100
  rand_bytes_int[6] = (rand_bytes_int[6] & 0b00001111) | 0b01000000;

  // set 2 significant bits of 9th byte to 2 (10)
  // & 0b00111111 replaces the first 2 bits with 0s
  // | 0b10000000 replaces the first 2 bits with 10
  rand_bytes_int[8] = (rand_bytes_int[8] & 0b00111111) | 0b10000000;
