I realized I was about to add the deprecation of `lcg_value()` and forgot

As usual, my English is of low quality, so I would appreciate it if you
could point out any problems.
I think it's too early for that. Because:
1. The replacement is only available as of PHP 8.3. Thus there won't be
a single version where "replacement is available" and "the function does
not emit deprecation notices" is both true. It should be deprecated with
PHP 8.4 at the earliest to give folks at least (!) one version to
cleanly migrate existing code without suppressing any errors / notices /
deprecations.
2. It's not seedable, thus the implementation can be switched to use a
different engine without affecting existing code.
3. It's not as commonly misused as mt_rand() is. Primarily because the
possible use-cases are much more rare.
