uuid: drop tt_uuid_str() from Lua
The function converts struct tt_uuid * to a string. The string is allocated on the static buffer, which can't be used in Lua due to unpredictable GC behaviour. It can start working any moment even if tt_uuid_str() has returned, but its result wasn't passed to ffi.string() yet. Then the buffer might be overwritten. Lua uuid now uses tt_uuid_to_string() which does the same but takes the buffer pointer. The buffer is stored in an ffi stash, because it is x4 times faster than ffi.new('char[37]') (where 37 is length of a UUID string + terminating 0) (2.4 ns vs 0.8 ns). After this patch UUID is supposed to be fully compatible with Lua GC handlers. Part of #5632
