session: Stop using php_combined_lcg()

Browse source 
The CombinedLCG is a terrible RNG with a questionable API and should ideally
not be used anymore. While in the case of ext/session it is only used for
probabilistic garbage collection where the quality of the RNG is not of
particular importance, there are better choices.

Replace the RNG used for garbage collection by an ext/session specific instance
of PcgOneseq128XslRr64. Its 16 Byte state nicely fits into the memory freed up
by the previous reordering of the session globals struct, even allowing to the
storage of the php_random_algo_with_state struct, making using the RNG a little
nicer.

Instead multiplying the float returned by the CombinedLCG by the GC Divisor to
obtain an integer between 0 and the divisor we can just use `php_random_range`
to directly generate an appropriate integer, completely avoiding the floating
point maths, making it easier to verify the code for correctness.
