Add a section about random number generation to the manual.

Document initial random state consistency, how to achieve or avoid
repeatability of random numbers, extensions with respect to seeding,
generation of random floats, and the currently used PRNG algorithm.

Move the docstring of SEED-RANDOM-STATE over from the "Miscellaneous
Extensions" section.
