Description
It would be handy if UUIDField.to_python() could handle integer values. This has practical application when using generic foreign keys in a project that mixes auto fields and uuid primary keys. The generic id field could be set to a BigIntegerField and then could point to uuid or integer primary keys

Accepting on the basis that I could see it being useful when migrating a project from sequence based to uuid primary keys.

Marking as RFC given I'm not sure this is worth a mention in the release notes.

How would the conversion work?
