Updated the RFC and fixed the implementation.
Also made some additions to the RFC about when this feature might be useful.

RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/object_scope_prng
Implementation PR: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/6568 (All CI passed)

The main points are as follows:

- The implementation now meets all requirements. (maybe)
- Implemented MT19937, which is compatible with PHP standard MT. The
consistency of these is ensured by tests.
- The implementation is now what we used to call TypeII.
- All RNG implementations can now be inherited like regular classes. Use
faster calls only if the class is an internal class.
- The implementation has been heavily modified and the quality of the code
has been improved.

Currently, there are a few concerns:

- MT19937 returns a signed 32bit number as a result of the `next()` method;
the mt_rand() function returns a bit-shifted unsigned 31bit number, so the
results are not identical.
    - You can get the equivalent result with `$rng->next() << 1 &
PHP_INT_MAX`, but maybe you should have a `nextUnsigned31()` method.
    - Currently, the test uses `$rng->next() << 1 & PHP_INT_MAX`.
- The implementation of MT19937 is redundant. This can be merged.

Anyway, I think the code is finally ready for review.
Once that is done, we will start voting on RFCs.
