[issue12986] Using getrandbits() in uuid.uuid4() is faster and more readable

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

If somebody is going to implement uuid based on the random module that somebody must take care of fork. Currently the PRGN in random isn't reseeded during fork(). This would lead to 100% collisions. The tempfile module contains a workaround for the issue.

I'm -1, see #15206.
