In the process of looking at #3436, I noticed that generation of random
number field elements was slow. I was hoping that speeding it up would
make it fast enough that we could use a "generic" algorithm for generating
matrices over cyclotomic fields. I did get a '''100-150X''' speedup for
generating random elements of number fields, but amazingly, this
'''still''' wasn't quite fast enough to beat the more "quick and dirty"
approaches for cyclotomic matrices. However, I think this code is probably
still worth merging.
