``uuid.getnode()`` now preferentially returns universally administered MAC addresses if available, over locally administered MAC addresses.  This makes a better guarantee for global uniqueness of UUIDs returned from ``uuid.uuid1()``.  If only locally administered MAC addresses are available, the first such one found is returned.

Also improve internal code style by being explicit about ``return None`` rather than falling off the end of the function.

Improve the test robustness.
