   According to this: 
https://github.com/apache/datasketches-rust/pull/62#discussion_r2701211297, 
there's no random support in rust std.
   
   I am currently writing `req` but I would need things like this, so I think 
it might be great to have one in our lib.
   
   ```rust
   use std::cell::Cell;
   use std::time::SystemTime;
   use std::time::UNIX_EPOCH;
   
   fn seed() -> u64 {
       let nanos = SystemTime::now()
           .duration_since(UNIX_EPOCH)
           .unwrap_or_default()
           .as_nanos() as u64;
       // xorshift64 degenerates to all zeros if seeded with zero.
       if nanos == 0 {
           0x2545_F491_4F6C_DD1D
       } else {
           nanos
       }
   }
   
   // Returns a pseudo-random bit.
   pub(crate) fn random_bit() -> bool {
       thread_local! {
           static RNG_STATE: Cell<u64> = Cell::new(seed());
       }
       RNG_STATE.with(|state| {
           let mut x = state.get();
           x ^= x << 13;
           x ^= x >> 7;
           x ^= x << 17;
           state.set(x);
           (x & 1) == 1
       })
   }
   
   ```
