Richard Kistruck e486078a79 Mps br.timing: testlib randomize() was wrong (simply discarding the first 0..32000 values is a throughly defective way to seed the generator). correct it to simply use timestamp (modulo m) as the initial seed, and then iterate 10 times.
rnd(): add notes, and create rnd_verify() to confirm implementation is correct.

/* rnd -- a random number generator
*
* I nabbed it from "ML for the Working Programmer", originally from:
* Stephen K Park & Keith W Miller (1988). Random number generators:
* good ones are hard to find. Communications of the ACM, 31:1192-1201.
*
* This is a 'full-period' generator: all values from [1..(mod-1)]
* are returned once, and then the generator cycles round again.
* (The value 0 is not part of the cycle and is never returned). That
* means the period = mod-1, ie. 2147483646.
*
* This "x 16807 mod 2^31-1" generator has been very well studied.
* It is not the 'best' (most random) simple generator, but it is
* free of all vices we might care about for this application, so
* we'll keep it simple and stick with this, thanks.
*
* There are faster implementations of this generator, summarised
* briefly here:
* - L. Schrage (1979 & 1983) showed how to do all the calculations
* within 32-bit integers. See also Numerical recipes in C.
* - David Carta (1990) showed how to also eliminate division.

* example: by using the first rnd() value, mod 100M and rounded
* to multiple of 128K, as arena size).
*
* So to mix it up a bit, we do a few iterations now. How many?
* Very roughly, 16807^2 is of the same order as 2^31, so two
* iterations would make the characteristic difference similar to
* the period. Hey, let's go wild and do 10.
