Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Go has a uuid package as part of std lib since 1.27 https://pkg.go.dev/uuid
It would be great if `pgtype.UUID` can return a std lib uuid directly.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I am currently updating my projects to remove the `google/uuid` dependency in favor of the std lib `uuid`. As the std lib uuid implementation does not include `Valuer` or `Scanner` implementations, it is a bit unwieldy to work with when used with pgx results. I need to implement some boiler code to convert the `[16]byte` into a std lib uuid.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
None.
**Additional context**
None.

Research direction
Start by locating the pgtype.UUID implementation and the existing google/uuid integration in pgx. Check how pgx results are scanned and valued, then make the stdlib uuid usable directly while retaining the expected UUID behavior; verify the result with the relevant existing tests.
