cass_uuid_gen_from_time() and cass_uuid_max_from_time() inputs are incosistence

[Kirill Khistyaev]

I was working with cass_uuid_gen_from_time() and cass_uuid_max_from_time() and I found it very confusing that the inputs to this functions are so inconsistent.

Input timestamp for cass_uuid_gen_from_time() actually have since since it is just unix timestamp in milliseconds.

But for cass_uuid_gen_from_time() I have to pass "(timestamp*10000L) + TIME_OFFSET_BETWEEN_UTC_AND_EPOCH" which is very strange.

If the format of the function can't be changed at least from_unix_timestamp() function should be exposed in cassandra.h.

That's a bug in those uuid min/max functions. Thanks for pointing out the issue.
