Description
I have this url path:
path('driver/<uuid:driver_guid>/logs/', views.LogListView.as_view(), name='list-logs'),
If I try this: reverse('list-logs', kwargs={'driver_guid': '3d2dde2ef06d465283c8849e9eba7bae'}), it does not find the path because the guid does not have '-'. 
If I try reverse('list-logs', kwargs={'driver_guid': '3d2dde2e-f06d-4652-83c8-849e9eba7bae'}) it does work.
The problem is that 3d2dde2ef06d465283c8849e9eba7bae is also a valid uuid. 
I think it should be recognized as well.

I think the same rationale as #28883 (only lower case letters are accepted) applies here as well. PR to document that rationale a bit more.
