The UUID library is used to generate unique identifiers for objects
that may be accessible beyond the local system. This library
generates UUIDs compatible with those created by the Open Software
Foundation (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) utility
uuidgen.
The UUIDs generated by this library can be reasonably expected to be
unique within a system, and unique across all systems. They could
be used, for instance, to generate unique HTTP cookies across multiple
web servers without communication between the servers, and without fear
of a name clash.
===> The following configuration options are available for libuuid-2.42.4:
MANPAGES=on: Build and/or install manual pages
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
misc/libuuid: enable symbol versioning
Some ports depend on versioned symbols in libuuid, and the meson
test appears off because it tries to look for the --version-script
without having build the library, and assumes the linker does
not support the --version-script. Force versioning.

*/*libuuid, */*libblkid: build MANPAGES by default as before.
in libuuid, also replace mkdir --parents GNUism by POSIX mkdir -p
to avoid MANPAGES build issue.
While here, clean up with portfmt/portclippy.
