Efficient Random Haskell ByteStrings

cabal install random-bytestring

Put dependency on pcg-random behind a cabal flag, which is on by default. This enables builds stackage nightly.

Add support for PCG as PRNG in addition to MWC.

The module Data.ByteString.Random.PCG uses PCG. The module Data.ByteString.Random.MWC uses MWC. The module Data.ByteString.Random uses MWC for backward compatibility.
Support usage of custom PRNGs through the type class RandomWords and the function generate in the module Data.ByteString.Random.Internal.
Add some benchmark results to package description

In the implementation of random, use withSystemGen that seeds the PRNG from the system randomness source.
