Only covers constants declared via stub files, others will be handled
separately in a later commit.
Does not include the intl extension, since that had some errors relating to the
cpp code; that extension will be updated separately.
* 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:
Drawing Random Floating-Point Numbers from an Interval. Frédéric

* random: Implement getFloat_gamma() optimization
see https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/9679/files#r994668327
* random: Add Random\IntervalBoundary
* random: Split the implementation of γ-section into its own file
* random: Add tests for Randomizer::getFloat()
* random: Fix γ-section for 32-bit systems
* random: Replace check for __STDC_IEC_559__ by compile-time check for DBL_MANT_DIG
* random: Drop nextFloat_spacing.phpt
* random: Optimize Randomizer::getFloat() implementation
* random: Reject non-finite parameters in Randomizer::getFloat()
* random: Add NEWS/UPGRADING for Randomizer’s float functionality
* Add Random\Random{Error,Exception} and Random\BrokenRandomEngineError
* Throw BrokenRandomEngineError
* Throw RandomException on seeding failure
* Throw RandomException when CSPRNG fails
* Remove unused include from ext/random/engine_combinedlcg.c
* Remove unused include from ext/random/engine_secure.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
* Fix PcgOneseq128XslRr64::__construct() definition in random.stub.php
The second parameter does not actually exist for a Oneseq PCG. It was removed
from the RFC before it went into voting.
* [ci skip] Add PcgOneseq128XslRr64 stub fix to NEWS
Since argument overloading is not safe for reflection, the method needed
to be split appropriately.
