Netlify CMS - Automate GUID and URI generation

[piers-sinclair]

@bradystroud @william-liebenberg
In Netlify CMS, the GUID and URI fields are shown to the user. It would be a better UX if these fields were hidden and automatically populated with values.

We will likely need a custom widget to do this.
The GUID field should be hidden.
The URI field should still be editable.

In Netlify CMS:

1. Automate GUID generation
2. Automate URI generation

AB#61018

The automatic GUID generation has been implemented as seen in PR #593.

It is not possible to automate the URI generation at this stage as there is no feature to access values of other input fields. The value in the title field cannot be read dynamically to generate a URI from it.

A separate issue #595 has been created for the URI generation.
