Add comments to uuid_extract_timestamp().

The timestamp-reassembly expressions in uuid_extract_timestamp() are
chains of shifted octets whose shift counts encode the field layout of
each UUID version, which is not otherwise recoverable from the code.

This commit documents, for UUIDv1, UUIDv6, and UUIDv7 alike, which
octets carry which part of the timestamp and where each part lands in
the reassembled value, citing the RFC section that defines it.
