Random number generation.

The key functions are `random()` and `RngUtil::gen()`. These are polymorphic
and so can be used to generate any type that implements `Rand`. Type inference
means that often a simple call to `rand::random()` or `rng.gen()` will
suffice, but sometimes an annotation is required, e.g. `rand::random::<float>()`.

See the `distributions` submodule for sampling random numbers from
distributions like normal and exponential.
