[issue17001] Make uuid.UUID use functools.total_ordering

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

I recommend against this patch.  The code generated by functools.total_ordering is less efficient than the existing code and it doesn't handle the NotImplemented logic very well.

total_ordering() is a shortcut, not a best practice.
