Description

Follow-up issue for #115. The gist:

In order to uniquely identify the images that are being generated,
this change proposes that a UUID should be included with each multiscale.
The UUID can either be generated at creation or perhaps copied from
an existing array if all meta(data) is identical (e.g. a rechunking).

In essence, the metadata would contain this:

"multiscales": [
    {,
        "uuid": "urn:uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6",
        "name": "example",
        "datasets": [..]
     }
]

Research direction

Start by reading issue #115 and the current multiscales specification to understand the proposed metadata shape and existing conventions. Define when a UUID is generated or copied, then update the specification so the UUID requirement and its behavior are unambiguous; completion means the multiscales example and normative text agree.
