Server does not support _uuids method

[GoogleCodeExporter]

CouchDB server offers a possibility to get uuid(s) for the app's use.

The current implementation of couchdb-python does not offer an interface to it.

The following patch provides a possible implementation of two methods:
  * uuids -- direct implementation of a call to a CouchDB server
  * get_uuid -- a possibility to get an uuid for the app's use (this method
obtains a batch of uuids and serves them when necessary)

I've add Server.uuids() in r25e802498028. I'm not entirely sure about the other 
part
of your patch... maybe that's something the application should take care of? I 
also
added a test case. What do others think about the uuid buffering?

Using server-generated UUIDs probably makes sense so we can take advantage of 
CouchDB's alternative UUID algorithms, e.g. sequential supposedly results in 
more compact databases. It should probably be configurable though.

Of course, if you don't supply an id then you get a server-generate one anyway. 
Duh!

I'm closing this on the premise that people can buffer on the application side. 
If anyone wants the client buffering, please file a new issue.
