Fabian Wolff b254c2e2c4 [libc++] Fix `uniform_int_distribution` for 128-bit result type
Fixes https://llvm.org/PR51520. The problem is that `uniform_int_distribution`
currently uses an unsigned integer with at most 64 bits internally, which
is then casted to the desired result type. If the result type is `int64_t`,
this will produce a negative number if the most significant bit is set,
but if the result type is `__int128_t`, the value remains non-negative
and will be out of bounds for the example in PR#51520. (The reason why
it also seems to work if the upper or lower bound is changed is
because the branch at [1] will then no longer be taken, and proper
rejection sampling takes place.)

The bigger issue here is probably that `uniform_int_distribution` can be
instantiated with `__int128_t` but will silently produce incorrect results
(only the lowest 64 bits can ever be set). libstdc++ also supports `__int128_t`
as a result type, so I have simply extended the maximum width of the
internal intermediate result type.

Arthur O'Dwyer 344cef6695 [libc++] Granularize the <random> header. NFCI.
Actually there's one functional change here, which is that users can
no longer depend on <random> to include all of C++20 <concepts>. That
inclusion is so new that we believe nobody should be depending on it
yet, even in the presence of Hyrum's Law. We keep the includes of <vector>,
<algorithm>, etc., so as not to break pre-C++20 Hyrum's Law users.
