Lioncash 189d277cfc Common/Random: Add convenience template for simple arithmetic values
In cases where we just want a random value for a primitive arithmetic
type, we can wrap this in a template to allow convenient direct
assignment instead of keeping declaration and initialization separate
(making it more difficult to use values uninitialized). This also allows
the use of Common::Random with functions such as std::generate, making
it more flexible in how random values can be generated.
