Patch that make UUID optional

Libuuid comes from util-linux-ng, which is very Linux specific and not very
portable on other platform like OSX and Windows. This dependency makes
telepathy-gabble very hard to port on those platforms.

Attach you will find a patch that makes this dependency optional by having an
implementation based on GLIB random number generator.
