Add UUID Version & Variant to GenerateGUID description (#1045)
## Changes
* Added a sentence detailing the **Version (4)** and **Variant (1)** of
the UUID algorithm used.
* This was determined by generating a GUID (for example
`564c5179-c21c-48e1-b5bb-8bd09f00d3f6`) and entering it into a [public
UUID decoder](https://www.uuidtools.com/decode).
* I don't believe adding this sentence is of any compromise to security
since anyone could publicly do this.
* This added sentence of information is helpful to note, as this version
does not have certain features that other UUID versions have such as
encoded timestamps, MAC addresses, or being sortable by time
([UUIDv7](https://uuid7.com/), [ULID](https://github.com/ulid/spec)).
* More info at
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier#Version_4_(random))
or https://www.uuidtools.com/uuid-versions-explained
* Fixed a typo: Extraneous "[" was removed
