For `PostgreSQL >= 9.4` use `gen_random_uuid()`

Since 9.4, PostgreSQL recommends using `pgcrypto`'s `gen_random_uuid()`
to generate version 4 UUIDs instead of the functions in the `uuid-ossp`
extension.

These changes uses the appropriate UUID function depending on the
underlying PostgreSQL server's version, while maintaining
`uuid_generate_v4()` in older migrations.
