Merge #12742: Make FastRandomContext support standard C++11 RNG interface

1ec1602a45 Make FastRandomContext support standard C++11 RNG interface (Pieter Wuille)

Pull request description:

  This makes it possible to plug it into the various standard C++11 random distribution algorithms and other functions like `std::shuffle`.
