Add fast random facility.
This is a low-memory-overhead and low-cpu-overhead (per generated bit) random number generator. The repeat cycle is around 2**88. Which means around 2**120 bits are available before a cycle. Which means that about 2**102 12-bit samples are available before repeats. This should be more than sufficient for blob rollover purposes. If 100 million blobs are split per second (absurdly high), then that's about 2**27 per second. If run for 30 years, that's 2**30 seconds. If run across 128 CPUs, that's 2**7 CPUs. Thus 2**(27+30+7) total samples are required before loop. This is 2**64 which is WAAAY less than 2**88. (And this is overly conservative, as these generators should be one-per-thread... so we're really much closer to 2**57, not that it matters.) For this reason, there's no reseed code. The cycle length of mt11213b is significantly longer, however, it has a significantly larger state. One goal here is to keep the amount of state for this generator to a single cache line. As such, if the cycle length is later shown to be significantly smaller than 2**48 or so, a reseed code path may need to be added. (This is on the assumption that the above described intensive run would run for more than 1 million seconds, or about two weeks.)
