juju commands with -m should accept a uuid for the model name

[Richard Harding]

It'd be great to assist in debugging and matching things from logs where you know the uuid but the admin doesn't know what it is.

[Richard Harding (rharding)]

One note is that the controller call show-model doesn't accept a -m (since the model is a required arg) and would also need to match up appropriately.

Should we also allow "juju switch" to accept a UUID?

Seems ok to me if it's not creating any issues.

I think it is just a case of "where we take a model name, allow it to be a
model uuid". Arguably we also would support short hash prefix of uuid. (eg
first 6-8 characters). I believe we've been using first 6 in log messages.
