Implement Xoroshiro116+ and improve statisticals
Implement Xoroshiro116+ as 'exrop' with fixes. Deprecate all old algorithms but reincarnate 'exs1024' as 'exs1024s' and 'exsplus' as 'exsp' with fixes. Fixes: * Avoid skew for uniform integers caused by using a simple 'rem' operation for range confinement. Correctness requires retry with new random value for an unfortunate first value. * Implement a correct algorithm that collects enough random bits for ranges larger than the generator's precision. * Fix uniform density for floats by acquiring 53 bits then multiplying with 2.0^(-53) which produces floats on the form N * 2.0^(-53).
