LibraryElements: Enables creating library elements with specific UID (#39019)

* LibraryPanels: Enables create/update library panels with specific UID

* Chore: added check for uid length after PR comments

* Refactor: creates IsShortUIDTooLong function

* Refactor: adds UID to PATCH endpoint

* Refactor: clarifies the patch code

* Refactor: changes  after PR comments
