Why does faker.misc.uuid has `cast_to=str` by default? 
# I'm willing to open PR
should this issue be accepted

* Faker version: latest
* OS: N/A

`faker.misc.uuid` has a arg `cast_to` with `str` as default.  So the returned value is always string.
https://github.com/joke2k/faker/blob/9f48a5c6a251b2b8d9f84f65472f946b85b9a923/faker/providers/misc/__init__.py#L95

I want to have the `uuid.UUID` object returned. 

Calling with `cast_to=UUID` again raises a Error on UUID lib (of course it would). Since it's returned `UUID(UUID([...]))`from faker with this

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3301060/80141445-f1113900-857f-11ea-85a2-2252c74acd00.png)

So I would have to cast it like this `UUID(str(UUID([...])))` to be funcional.

### Steps to reproduce

1. `faker.uuid(cast_to=str)`
1. `faker.uuid(cast_to=uuid.UUID)`

### Expected behavior
I should be able to call  `faker.uuid(cast_to=None)` and have the pure `UUID` object returned.

### Actual behavior
Faker forces object `UUID` to be cast.
