Allow to use something different than time.Now when generating uuids that have a time component

Allow to use something different than time.Now when generating uuids that have a time component.

This is useful for:

• Tests
• In rare cases where you want to encode a timestamp different than the current time in the id, such as an expiration date.

The package at https://github.com/gofrs/uuid seems to have this functionality, see https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/gofrs/uuid/v5#WithEpochFunc. I would love to have something similar.

If you have special requirements, please use uuidv8

Yes, please add a way to generate uuidv7 with a custom time, right now we can sort by uuidv7, but if we want to get records from database between dates, it's way too complicated right now, if we can generate a uuidv7 with a custom dates this makes it much simpler.

I will add the v8 implementation ， later
