Subject: [PATCH] Add `Pkg.API.get_uuid()` and `Pkg.API.get_version()`

These functions provide a nice interface for determining the
currently-running package's UUID and VersionNumber, identified by loaded
`Module`.  We explicitly do not include a lookup by name, in expectation
of potential future naming clashes due to having multiple packages with
the same name but different UUIDs.
