Implements a full suite of random number distributions sampling routines.

This crate is a super-set of the [rand::distributions] module, including support
for sampling from Beta, Binomial, Cauchy, ChiSquared, Dirichlet, exponential,
Fisher F, Gamma, Log-normal, Normal, Pareto, Poisson, StudentT, Triangular and
Weibull distributions, as well as sampling points from the unit circle and unit
sphere surface.

It is worth mentioning the [statrs] crate which provides similar functionality
along with various support functions, including PDF and CDF computation. In
contrast, this `rand_distr` crate focusses on sampling from distributions.

Unlike most Rand crates, `rand_distr` does not currently support `no_std`.
