Use standard RNG

The custom random number generator can now be replaced with a C++11
RNG. This greatly improves the reliability and trustworthiness of it.

In addition to this, the conversion of the RNG to a thread-local object
removes the race condition that was present in the previous
implementation. It also theoretically improves performance by a tiny bit.
