Research direction

Start by reading the linked MDN Crypto.randomUUID documentation and the Node.js Web Crypto references. Then inspect crypto-browserify's existing API surface and tests to determine where this missing method belongs. Done means crypto.randomUUID is available and returns a UUID consistent with the documented behavior.
