libstdc++: Optimize uniform_int_distribution using Lemire's algorithm

Co-authored-by: Jonathan Wakely <jwakely@redhat.com>

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* include/bits/uniform_int_dist.h (uniform_int_distribution::_S_nd):
	New member function implementing Lemire's "nearly divisionless"
	algorithm.
	(uniform_int_distribution::operator()): Use _S_nd when the range
	of the URBG is the full width of the result type.
