YYID for JavaScript (Browser)

• Generates a UUID#4-like random string, but in contrast to RFC 4122, omits the static bits
• Format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx (128bit randomness)
• Uses a cryptographically solid source of randomness, if possible: crypto.getRandomValues
• See yyid-node for a server-side (node.js) version
