before this change, we create a new UUID for a new sstable managed by the s3_storage, and we use the string representation of UUID defined by RFC4122 like "0aa490de-7a85-46e2-8f90-38b8f496d53b" for naming the objects stored on s3_storage. but this representation is not what we are using for storing sstables on local filesystem when the option of "uuid_sstable_identifiers_enabled" is enabled. instead, we are using a base36-based representation which is shorter.
to be consistent with the naming of the sstables created for local filesystem, and more importantly, to simplify the interaction between the local copy of sstables and those stored on object storage, we should use the same string representation of the sstable identifier.
so, in this change:
1. instead of creating a new UUID, just reuse the generation of the sstable for the object's key.
2. do not store the uuid in the sstable_registry system table. As we already have the generation of the sstable for the same purpose.
3. switch the sstable identifier representation from the one defined by the RFC4122 (implemented by fmt::formatter<utils::UUID>) to the base36-based one (implemented by fmt::formatter<sstables::generation_type>)
