bevy_utils: Export generate_composite_uuid utility function (#10496)
# Objective

The `generate_composite_uuid` utility function hidden in
`bevy_reflect::__macro_exports` could be generally useful to users.

For example, I previously relied on `Hash` to generate a `u64` to create
a deterministic `HandleId`. In v0.12, `HandleId` has been replaced by
`AssetId` which now requires a `Uuid`, which I could generate with this
function.

## Solution

Relocate `generate_composite_uuid` from `bevy_reflect::__macro_exports`
to `bevy_utils::uuid`.

It is still re-exported under `bevy_reflect::__macro_exports` so there
should not be any breaking changes (although, users should generally not
rely on pseudo-private/hidden modules like `__macro_exports`).

I chose to keep it in `bevy_reflect::__macro_exports` so as to not
clutter up our public API and to reduce the number of changes in this
PR. We could have also marked the export as `#[doc(hidden)]`, but
personally I like that we have a dedicated module for this (makes it
clear what is public and what isn't when just looking at the macro
code).

---

## Changelog

- Moved `generate_composite_uuid` to `bevy_utils::uuid` and made it
public
  - Note: it was technically already public, just hidden
