As a Collections tab, aka Data Explorer, user I want to view, search for, create and update UUID and GUID field values

The BSON spec includes support for UUID values, also known as GUID values. The format of UUID values are defined in rfc4122.txt. For example, f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6 Users would like to work with UUID/GUID values in Data Explorer as a fully supported data type, including search support in the RFC layout, ability to create new document fields of type UUID, support for UUID type _id fields and the ability to edit UUID values in existing documents. The mongo shell documentation provides this example: UUID("3b241101-e2bb-4255-8caf-4136c566a962")
