Support UUIDs with binary_format=true #260

It would be great if UUIDs were interpreted using Julia's UUID type.

This works, but probably not the mot efficient way:

postgres=# create table t (x uuid);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into t values(uuid_in(md5(random()::text || random()::text)::cstring));
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# insert into t values(uuid_in(md5(random()::text || random()::text)::cstring));
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# insert into t values(uuid_in(md5(random()::text || random()::text)::cstring));
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select * from t;
                  x

Thanks for this example, that's a great reference for implementation!
