Mattias Rönnblom 5f4ed3f058 eal: introduce random generator with upper bound
Add a function rte_rand_max() which generates an uniformly distributed
pseudo-random number less than a user-specified upper bound.

The commonly used pattern rte_rand() % SOME_VALUE creates biased
results (as in some values in the range are more frequently occurring
than others) if SOME_VALUE is not a power of 2.
