Improving mac_address node speed for UUID v1 (and v6)

[ryanwinchester]

There are ways to improve this.

See: zyro/elixir-uuid#45 and zyro/elixir-uuid#40

I would prefer a way to make it an opt-in feature either at run-time or compile time, though.
For example, if your application does not use UUID v1 or UUID v6 with mac_address type, then you don't need a GenServer updating a cache that you'll never use.

@whatyouhide are you still interested? Especially since this is just a fork of https://github.com/zyro/elixir-uuid

Hey @ryanwinchester, we don't use UUID v1 anywhere anymore. I don't have time right now to contribute something like I described in the other issue. My 2c is that a GenServer that updates every few seconds is so cheap to have that I'd just have it running, but regardless, up to you :) Thanks for pinging, will jump out of this convo. Please ping me here if you need anything else :)
