Description

Problems:

• The uncommons RepeatableRNG classes are the basis of RandomUtils.
  • These classes cheerfully ignore setSeed.
• Some people in the project want to move off Uncommons anyway.

This patch uses the org.apache.commons.math.random.RandomGenerator classes instead of org.apache.uncommons.maths.RepeatableRNG classes.
