Revert "Add UUID alias for UUIDv4"

[sixcolors]

Reverts #178

The function was intentionally removed in v2 in #175 as a documented breaking change. Reintroducing it is unnecessary, as v2 has not yet had a final release and such changes are acceptable in a major version release.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Refactor
  • Removed the UUID() function. Use UUIDv4() directly instead.

Code Review

This pull request reverts the addition of the UUID function, which was an alias for UUIDv4. As explained in the pull request description, this function was intentionally removed in v2 as a documented breaking change, and reintroducing it was not intended. This revert correctly aligns with the project's versioning strategy. The change is straightforward and I find no issues with it.

Pull request overview

This PR reverts the addition of a UUID() alias function that was intended for backward compatibility with v1. The revert is appropriate because v2 has not yet had a final release, making this an acceptable breaking change for a major version.

• Removes the UUID() alias function that simply called UUIDv4()
• Maintains the original UUIDv4() function unchanged
• Aligns with the documented breaking change from #175
