Forbid gen_random_uuid() with --disable-strong-random

Previously, gen_random_uuid() would fall back to a weak random number
generator, unlike gen_random_bytes() which would just fail. And this was
not made very clear in the docs. For consistency, also make
gen_random_uuid() fail outright, if compiled with --disable-strong-random.

Re-word the error message you get with --disable-strong-random. It is also
used by pgp functions that require random salts, and now also
gen_random_uuid().
