stdlib: Add new random functionality/module
The old random module contains an old algorithm which have flaws
and the api requires the user to invoke seed and or checking if seed have
been invoked, if a non constant seed is to be used.
The api contains the following features:
- The user can invoke rand:unform/[0|1] directly and get a non constant seeding.
- The api is split in functional and non functional functions,
i.e. usage of _s functions will not affect the process dictionary.
- The api contains several algorithms with different characteristics and
can be extended with new algorithms in the future.
- Contains state of the art random number generators.
- Default algorithm is taylor made for erlang to be fast on 64bits machines.
