`PHPAPI` is defined in `php.h`. It appears that without the explicit include,
recent versions of Visual Studio Code’s intellisense (rightfully) no longer
detect `PHPAPI`. This will then lead to a misparsing of the file, because
`PHPAPI` is assumed to be the return type and the actual return type is assumed
to be the function name, thus expecting a semicolon after the actual return
type. This in turn colors the entire header in red due to the detected syntax
error(s), making development very hard / impossible.
This did not cause issues outside of the IDE use case, because apparently all
users of `php_random.h` include `php.h` before including `php_random.h`.
* random: Add Randomizer::nextFloat()
* random: Check that doubles are IEEE-754 in Randomizer::nextFloat()
* random: Add Randomizer::nextFloat() tests
* random: Add Randomizer::getFloat() implementing the y-section algorithm
The algorithm is published in:

* Remove unused include from ext/random/engine_combinedlcg.c

* Remove unused include from ext/random/random.c
* [ci skip] Add ext/random Exception hierarchy to NEWS
* [ci skip] Add the change of Exception for random_(int|bytes) to UPGRADING
Whenever ->last_unsafe is set to `true` an exception has been thrown. Thus we
can replace the check for `->last_unsafe` with a check for `EG(exception)`
which is a much more natural way to ommunicate an error up the chain.
