Nik Bougalis b328ec2462 Prevent passing of non-POD types to POD-only interfaces:
This tidies up the code that produces random numbers to conform
to programming best practices and reduce dependencies.

* Use std::random_device instead of platform-specific code
* Remove RandomNumbers class and use free functions instead
