Simple aliases for most common random generators

This macros are designed to simplify the user interface for generating random numbers. Most of the time, a Marsaglia XOR-shift RNG is best choice for generating random numbers

cpct_rand8	returns a random u8 value ( 8-bits). It uses cpct_getRandom_mxor_u8.
cpct_rand16	returns a random u16 value (16-bits). It uses cpct_getRandom_mxor_u16.
cpct_rand32	returns a random u32 value (32-bits). It uses cpct_getRandom_mxor_u32.
cpct_srand8(SEED)	Sets seed for MXOR generators (SEED = 32 bits value) and restores internal state of cpct_getRandom_mxor_u8.
cpct_srand16(SEED)	Sets seed for MXOR generators (SEED = 32 bits value) and restores internal state of cpct_getRandom_mxor_u16.
cpct_rand	alias for cpct_rand8
cpct_srand	alias for <cpct_srand8>

unsigned char (u8 = unsigned 8-bits, 1 byte )

Gets a high-quality 8-bit pseudo-random number using Marsaglia’s XOR-shift algorithm (Using a 32-bits state)

unsigned int (u16 = unsigned 16-bits, 2 bytes)

Gets a high-quality 16-bit pseudo-random number using Marsaglia’s XOR-shift algorithm (using a 32-bits state)

unsigned long (u32 = unsigned 32-bits, 4 bytes)

Gets a 32-bit pseudo-random number using Marsaglia’s XOR-shift algorithm (using a 32-bits state)

returns a random u8 value ( 8-bits).
