This method validates a character array as the expected format for a printed representation of a UUID. The
expected format is 36 characters long, with '-' at the 8th, 13th, 18th, and 23rd characters. The remaining
characters are expected to be valid hex, meaning in the range ('0' - '9', 'a' - 'f', 'A' - 'F') inclusive.
If a character array is valid, then it can be used to construct a UUID. This method has been written unrolled
and verbosely, with the theory that this is simpler and faster than using loops or a regex.
@param ch A character array of a UUID's printed representation.
@return True or false based on whether the UUID is valid, no exceptions are thrown.
