 Attached patch allows using a tuple as the `degree` argument when calling
 the `random_element()` method of univariate polynomial rings. The tuple
 specifies the minimum and maximum degrees so we don't always get
 polynomials of the same degree:

 {{{
 sage: R.<x> = ZZ[]
 sage: R.random_element(degree=(0,8))
 2*x^7 - x^5 + 4*x^4 - 5*x^3 + x^2 + 14*x - 1
 sage: R.random_element(degree=(0,8))
 -2*x^3 + x^2 + x + 4
 }}}

 This is also directly usable by matrices:

 {{{
 sage: M = Matrix(R,2,2)
 sage: M.randomize(degree=(0,6))
 sage: M
 [              -40*x^3 - 3*x^2 - 5*x            -x^4 + 476*x^3 - 3*x + 3]
 [-12*x^6 + 2*x^4 - x^3 + x^2 + x - 1                           -52*x + 5]
 }}}
