When creating a canvas_page via POST /canvas/api/v0/content/canvas_page, the UUID is always auto-generated by Drupal. External clients (e.g. CLI tools) that manage content across environments need to control the UUID to ensure stable references.

Add support for an optional uuid field in the POST request body. When provided, it is set on the new entity before saving. Duplicate creation is unaffected — duplicates always receive a new UUID. Invalid or already-used UUIDs are rejected via the existing entity validation flow.
