UUID attribute created for cpid.
Attribute added to the process object.
Reference feature used to link to CPID specification.

Related Issue:

#1205

Description of changes:

The Common Process Identifier (CPID) provides a way to deterministically create a unique process identifier.
This enable multiple system/endpoint data producers to assign the same unique identifier to the same process.
However, existing endpoint software implementations have their own process identification systems which would get mapped to process.uid.
This pull request adds a new cpid field to process so process.uid can continue to be used for existing unique identification schemes.

Still WIP as the CPID spec isn't merged yet and the reference link depends on the location that it lands.
