#3352: Data.Word should define instances of Random for each type

----
Data.Word defines signed and unsigned integer types for various bit
sizes. It would help if Data.Word made each type an instance of Random.
Per http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Orphan_instance , such an
instance should appear either in System.Random or Data.Word, and it
makes more sense to do the latter.
