mruby-random: replace xoshiro with pcg for better memory efficiency

replaces xoshiro128++/xorshift96 with PCG-XSH-RR algorithm. PCG uses
64-bit state compared to xoshiro's 128-bit state, reducing memory
footprint by 50% while maintaining excellent statistical quality.

on 32-bit platforms, uses optimized 32-bit multiplier (0xf13283ad)
requiring only 2 multiplies instead of 3. on 64-bit platforms, uses
standard 64-bit multiplier for maximum quality.

all existing tests pass. api compatibility maintained.

/* This is xoshiro128++ 1.0, one of our 32-bit all-purpose, rock-solid
generators. It has excellent speed, a state size (128 bits) that is
large enough for mild parallelism, and it passes all tests we are aware
of.
For generating just single-precision (i.e., 32-bit) floating-point
numbers, xoshiro128+ is even faster.
The state must be seeded so that it is not everywhere zero. */
This implements PCG-XSH-RR with 64-bit state and 32-bit output.
On 32-bit platforms, uses an optimized 32-bit multiplier for better
performance. On 64-bit platforms, uses the standard 64-bit multiplier
for maximum statistical quality.
See <https://www.pcg-random.org/> for details. */
