runtime: speed up cheaprand and cheaprand64

The current cheaprand performs 128-bit multiplication on 64-bit numbers
and truncate the result to 32 bits, which is inefficient.

A 32-bit specific implementation is more performant because it performs
64-bit multiplication on 32-bit numbers instead.

The current cheaprand64 involves two cheaprand calls.
Implementing it as 64-bit wyrand is significantly faster.

Since cheaprand64 discards one bit, I have preserved this behavior.
The underlying uint64 function is made available as cheaprandu64.
