Describe the feature you want to add

This issue proposes adding support for generating UUIDv7, as defined in the updated RFC for UUIDs.

UUIDv7 offers a compelling combination of time-based generation (using a Unix Epoch timestamp) and random bits, resulting in unique, naturally sortable identifiers. This makes it particularly well-suited for distributed systems where ordering is crucial, such as databases, event logs and tracing.

Given its growing adoption and clear advantages in specific use cases, implementing UUIDv7 generation would enhance the library's utility.

Mockups or Images of the feature

uuidv7(); // Generates a UUIDv7 string, e.g., 01945109-f228-7a5d-ac8a-224ecb6dbb65
