shortuuid VS go.uuid

use https://github.com/google/uuid instead. It is maintained and have some nice add-on dependency like https://github.com/lithammer/shortuuid

Something to note is that all of this is still open source. Theoretically, someone can decide to fork SQLBoiler and add all the missing things, or send in a PR. A good example is that the current most popular uuid package. gofrs/uuid was forked from an unmaintained previously popular package.
