Summary

Introduce methods to simplify the selection of basic RandomGenerators.

Problem

Without using a specific algorithm, the RandomGenerator API recommends that the user should use a query to select an appropriate an algorithm. The queries could be daunting for a user that just wants a basic RandomGenerator. Ex.,

RandomGeneratorFactory<RandomGenerator> best = RandomGenerator.all()
    .sorted((f, g) -> Integer.compare(f.stateBits(), g.stateBits()))
    .findFirst()
    .orElseThrow();

Solution

Provide methods that return a basic RandomGenerator or RandomGeneratorFactory.

Specification

    /**
     * Returns a {@link RandomGeneratorFactory} meeting the minimal requirement
     * of having an algorithm whose state bits are greater than or equal 64.
     *
     * @implNote  Since algorithms will improve over time, there is no
     * guarantee that this method will return the same algorithm each time.
     *
     * @return a {@link RandomGeneratorFactory}
     */
    static RandomGeneratorFactory<RandomGenerator> getDefaultFactory() {
        return factoryOf("L32X64MixRandom");
    }
