Description
OutofcoreOctreeDiskContainer is using Boost to generate Uuids. To get rid of last occurrences of Boost random generator code, we should replace it by an own implementation. Question is: Just generate a fully random Uuid or we need a bit more logic there?

Research direction
Start by locating OutofcoreOctreeDiskContainer and the Boost UUID generator usage. Determine whether the replacement needs fully random UUIDs or additional logic, then identify the relevant behavior to preserve. Done means the container no longer uses the Boost random generator and its UUID generation requirements are satisfied.
