The new RNG wraps up state for random number generation, so
one can have many rngs and even marshal and unmarshal them.
Adds math/rng, math/rng-uniform, and math/rng-int.
Also introduce `in` and change semantics for
indexing out of range. This commit enforces stricter
invariants on keys when indexing via a function call
on the data structure, or the new `in` function.
The `get` function is now more lax about keys, and will
not throw an error when a bad key is used for a data structure, instead
returning the default value.
A consistent style should help with contributors and
readability. We use astyle as the formatter as can make a pretty
good approximation of the current style and my preferred style.

This should speed up start time and reduce malloc/free
usage to about 15% of what is what previously for startup.
The current cost is slightly larger binary as the representaion
of the image is currently less compact than source code.
Error handling is implemented with setjmp/longjmp so code
can be more concise. This required a very large but straight forward refactor for all
of the libraries.
remove some complexity and unexpected behavior around numbers in
general as all numbers are the same number type, IEEE 754 double
precision numbers. Also update examples and tests, some of which were
out of date.
Some more testing may be needed for new changes to numbers.
