Allow to use something different than time.Now when generating uuids that have a time component.
This is useful for:
- Tests
- In rare cases where you want to encode a timestamp different than the current time in the id, such as an expiration date.
The package at https://github.com/gofrs/uuid seems to have this functionality, see https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/gofrs/uuid/v5#WithEpochFunc. I would love to have something similar.

If you have special requirements, please use uuidv8
