Subject: [PATCH v6 1/2] Allow explicit casting between bytea and UUID
MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This enables using encode() and decode() to convert UUIDs to and from
alternative formats, such as base64.

Subject: [PATCH v6 2/2] Add base32hex encoding support to encode() and
 decode()

Implement base32hex encoding/decoding per RFC 4648 Section 7 for
encode() and decode() functions. This encoding uses the extended hex
alphabet (0-9, A-V) which preserves sort order.

The encode() function produces padded output, while decode() accepts
both padded and unpadded input. Decoding is case-insensitive.
