Expose bytes to uuid

Do you have any interest in exposing the lib method bytesToUuid?

Usecase: I am writing two uuid’s to a buffer which I am hex encoding for use in a http header, but when I decode them, I would like to store are traditional string representation in the XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX format.

It would be nice to do something like:

var buf = Buffer.from(hexEncodedString, 'hex');
var id1 = uuid.bytesToUuid(buf.slice(0, 16));
var id2 = uuid.bytesToUuid(buf.slice(17, 32));

Maybe there is another way to do this that I don’t know about, so let me know if that is the case. Otherwise I can submit a PR to expose it.

Passes our test suite. I’ll deploy shortly, but I don’t expect any problems. Will let you know if anything comes up, but assume it’s working fine for us unless you hear otherwise.

We’re currently considering to extend the API surface of this library (https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid/pull/455#issuecomment-634721504), thank you for bringing up that use case.

We’ll definitely discuss this!
