Russ Cox c29444ef39 math/rand, math/rand/v2: use ChaCha8 for global rand
Move ChaCha8 code into internal/chacha8rand and use it to implement
runtime.rand, which is used for the unseeded global source for
both math/rand and math/rand/v2. This also affects the calculation of
the start point for iteration over very very large maps (when the
32-bit fastrand is not big enough).

The benefit is that misuse of the global random number generators
in math/rand and math/rand/v2 in contexts where non-predictable
randomness is important for security reasons is no longer a
security problem, removing a common mistake among programmers
who are unaware of the different kinds of randomness.

The cost is an extra 304 bytes per thread stored in the m struct
plus 2-3ns more per random uint64 due to the more sophisticated
algorithm. Using PCG looks like it would cost about the same,
although I haven't benchmarked that.

Before this, the math/rand and math/rand/v2 global generator
was wyrand (https://github.com/wangyi-fudan/wyhash).
For math/rand, using wyrand instead of the Mitchell/Reeds/Thompson
ALFG was justifiable, since the latter was not any better.
But for math/rand/v2, the global generator really should be
at least as good as one of the well-studied, specific algorithms
provided directly by the package, and it's not.

(Wyrand is still reasonable for scheduling and cache decisions.)

Good randomness does have a cost: about twice wyrand.

Also rationalize the various runtime rand references.
