Title: Cursor.random

Michael, I took a run at WT_CURSOR::random today, would you please take a look?

Specific comments:

* I created a new "specialized functions" area in the cursor method documentation instead of including this call in the standard list. I hate to leave it undocumented, but I also hate to put it in the middle of the normal calls.

* I didn't implement it for col-store files, I can't imagine any use for it there.

* I didn't implement it for table cursors -- can you give me a hint on how to do that? (Presumably, we do the cursor lookup on the primary key, but I don't see any obvious templates for doing that, and my first couple of attempts ended in tears.)

This should close #143.
