random32: add a selftest for the prandom32 code

Given that this code is new, let's add a selftest for it as well.
It doesn't rely on fixed sets, instead it picks 1024 numbers and
verifies that they're not more correlated than desired.

* than 16 differing bits also implies a correlation with inverted bits. Thus
* we take 1024 random numbers and compare each of them to the other ones,
* counting the deviation of correlated bits to 16. Constants report 32,
* counters 32-log2(TEST_SIZE), and pure randoms, around 6 or lower. With the
* u32 total, TEST_SIZE may be as large as 4096 samples.
