On big-endian architectures CHAR_TO_UUID/UUID_TO_CHAR use little-endian byte
ordering, returning different results for the same input compared with
little-endian architectures.
This makes the same statements/stored procedures behave differently between
architectures, which may lead to all kinds of nastiness in mixed environments.
