pythongh-89083: add links to RFC 9562 sections in UUID docs (pythonGH-135684)

LamentXU123 · picnixz · miss-islington · commit 27b89c387cfb · 2025-06-20T11:03:47.000Z
We also sync the docs for UUIDv1 and UUIDv6 concerning the node address and clock sequence. --------- (cherry picked from commit b881e3d) Co-authored-by: Weilin Du <108666168+LamentXU123@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Bénédikt Tran <10796600+picnixz@users.noreply.github.com>
