random: add RandomMixin::randbits with compile-known bits

In many cases, it is known at compile time how many bits are requested from
randbits. Provide a variant of randbits that accepts this number as a template,
to make sure the compiler can make use of this knowledge. This is used immediately
in rand32() and randbool(), and a few further call sites.
