Josh Bleecher Snyder ca19f2fc78 math/rand: fix uniform distribution stddev in tests
The standard deviation of a uniform distribution is size / √12.
The size of the interval [0, 255] is 256, not 255.
While we're here, simplify the expression.

The tests previously passed only because the error margin was large enough.
Sample observed standard deviations while running tests:

73.7893634666819
73.9221651548294
73.8077961697150
73.9084236069471
73.8968446814785
73.8684209136244
73.9774618960282
73.9523483202549

255 / √12 == 73.6121593216772
256 / √12 == 73.9008344562721
