Since range size is always 2^n, we can simply use modulo (implemented
with a bitmask).
The previous implementation used 64-bit integer division, which is
done in software on ARMv7. Although the divisor was constant, the
division could not be transformed into "multiplication by magic number"
since the dividend was 64-bit.
The now-unused and not-so-fast gst_fast_random_(u)int32_range functions
were removed.
Also, implementing bug fixes:
1) ADD_DITHER_TPDF_HF_I no longer discards bias.
2) We change TPDF's noise range to be the same as RPDF's. Previously,
RPDF's noise ranged:
{ bias - dither, bias + dither }
while TPDF's noise ranged:
{ bias/2 - dither/2, bias/2 + dither/2 - 1 } +
{ bias/2 - dither/2, bias/2 + dither/2 - 1 } =
{ bias - dither, bias + dither - 2 }
Now, both range:
{ bias - dither, bias + dither - 1 }

Implement a linear congruential generator as pseudo random number
generator for the dither noise. This is about 2 times faster than
using GLib's mersenne twister. Also this uses only integer math for
generating integers while GLib internally uses floating point math.
