Possibly replace ThreadLocalRandom #1749

Description

@pjfanning

ThreadLocalRandom may not be a great idea if you are using Virtual Threads (#611).

Java 17+ has a new RandomGenerator and we could allow users to choose via config which generator to use.

RandomGenerator random = RandomGenerator.of("L64X128MixRandom")

List of algorithms:

We could have a centralised util function to get a generator. Java 8-16 users would get a ThreadLocalRandominstance when this functio was called. Java 17+ users - we could use Reflection or MethodHandles to create a generator based on config.
