core: libuuid-devel breakage

The #include "uuid.h" left over from using .../contrib/uuid is debatably
incorrect now that we use the "system header" file /usr/include/uuid/uuid.h
from libuuid-devel.

Unfortunately this is complicated by things like FreeBSD having its own
/usr/include/uuid.h, and the e2fsprogs-libuuid uuid.h in installed - as
most third-party packages in FreeBSD are - in /usr/local as
/usr/local/include/uuid/uuid.h

With a system header file it should at least be #include <uuid.h>, and
even better as #include <uuid/uuid.h>, much like the way <sys/types.h>
and <net/if.h> are included. Using #include <uuid/uuid.h> guarantees
not getting the /usr/include/uuid.h on FreeBSD, but clang/cc knows to
find "system" header files like this in /usr/local/include; with or
without the -I/... from uuid.pc. Also using #include "uuid.h" leaves
the compiler free to find a uuid.h from any -I option it might be passed.
(Fortunately we don't have any at this time.)

As we now require libuuid-devel or e2fsprogs-libuuid and configure will
exit with an error if the uuid.pc file doesn't exist, the HAVE_LIBUUID
(including the #elif FreeBSD) tests in compat-uuid.h are redundant. We
are guaranteed to have it, so testing for it is a bit silly IMO. It may
also break building third party configure scripts if they omit defining
it. (Just how hard do we want to make things for third party developers?)
