Hi

RFC has been updated. Is this up to the required standard?
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/rng_extension

I acknowledge that the previous RFC may have been difficult to discuss. If
the problem has been solved, I would like to make another ML-wide
announcement and wait for two weeks from there.

I added PCG64 because according to the RNG experts, there seems to be a
mild conflict between Xorshiro256 and PCG64. Also, as mentioned in the RFC,
Rust and NumPy also implement PCG64.

In order to verify the feasibility of PCG64, we created a PoC in C. So far,
it seems to work fine.
