JDK-8273642: The UUID class does not implement RFC4122 fully (UUID type 5 is missing).

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Mario,

I linked and closed https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8273642 as 
a duplicate.

The hex string->binary conversions in UUID are already highly optimized.

I don't think the any of the recently added support for Hexadecimal in 
java.util.HexFormat would/could make it any faster.

There might be a trivial space gain by refactoring to have a single 
table used for the digit conversions in both.
(UUID.nibbles vs HexFormat.DIGITS) but it would be a very low value change.

Thanks, Roger
