Use crypto.randomUUID instead of uuid.v4

[imnasnainaec]

Replacement for #4268

Devin review: https://app.devin.ai/review/sillsdev/TheCombine/pull/4271

Browsers block the crypto package on http:// (non-https) sites, but both our NUC and laptop installs host The Combine at an https:// page, so that's not a problem.

Goodbye uuid, native crypto's right!
