matroskamux: don't store used UIDs

Currently, whenever we generate a 128-bit UID, we store it in a list and
return 0 if we ever encounter a collision. This is so mathematically
improbable that it's not worth checking for, so we can save memory and
time by not tracking the UID. Even if a collision happened, a list of
only 10 UIDs would be unlikely to detect it.

This article has a good description of how improbable a collision is:
