[META] Use UUIDs in more places

@quicksketch https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/890#issuecomment-9676...

Backdrop already includes a UUID class in core, but I think the only place we're using it is for instances of blocks in Layouts.

I'd love to see UUIDs used in more places. At least all entities (nodes, users, files, terms), so we could start using them in reference fields.
