change guid to a binary, using the md5 of term_to_binary
The main motivation is to reduce the memory and on-disk footprint of
the guid from ~34 bytes to 16. But it turns out that this actually
results in a speed improvement of a few percent as well, even for
non-persistent messaging, presumably due to the memory management
effects and the fact that 16 byte binaries are easier to copy between
processes than the deep(ish) original guid structure.
