[Asterisk-Dev] Real UniqueIDs (GUID/UUID) for CDRs

A bit ago, there was a conversation about having GUIDs/UUIDs in CDRs.
Something that'll be guaranteed unique even with a large farm of Asterisk
servers busily generating CDRs.

Instead of making up an algorithm, I just added support for uuids (libuuid),
which bases off the MAC address and some other things, and gives a guarantee
of uniqueness for a high-volume environment. 

There's a patch to the core CDR code, plus I made cdr_csv support it as
well. To anyone interested, please add on patches for other CDR modules (I'm
not familiar with them at all).
