uuid 3.4.0 is deprecated

[mriedem]

I'm using ibm-cos-sdk 1.10.2 which depends on uuid@3.4.0 which is deprecated:

npm WARN deprecated uuid@3.4.0: Please upgrade to version 7 or higher. Older versions may use Math.random() in certain circumstances, which is known to be problematic. See https://v8.dev/blog/math-random for details.

I'm not sure if there is any breaking change in uuid@7 for ibm-cos-sdk but if not it'd be nice to upgrade to avoid that deprecation warning.

Also FYI defunctzombie/node-url#57 - if ibm-cos-sdk could get away with not requiring that url dependency and instead use the URL module in nodejs directly that'd be a win IMO.

Same here. uuid skipped version numbers 4, 5, & 6 to avoid confusion w/ the RFC: https://www.npmjs.com/package/uuid#upgrading-from-uuid3x

A quick grep of the code shows it only used in a single source file: https://github.com/IBM/ibm-cos-sdk-js/blob/master/lib/util.js#L952

All that leads me to believe the update should be straightforward w/o breakage.

This change came in too late for the 1.11.0 release but is currently staged for the next one.
