Rework task naming in LDAP updates to avoid conflicting names in certain cases
There are two problems in task naming in LDAP updates:
1. Randomness may be scarce in virtual machines
2. Random number is added to the time value rounded to a second
The second issue leads to values that may repeat themselves as time
only grows and random number is non-negative as well, so
t2+r2 can be equal to t1+t2 generated earlier.
Since task name is a DN, there is no strict requirement to use an integer value.
Instead, we generate an UUID and use its 60-bit time, 14-bit sequential number,
and attribute name.
