Title: RFC: Adds random number generation for BigInts and BigFloats

This pull request extends the work done by @jiahao in #3077, adding a default RNG for BigInts and BigFloats (since they share the gmp_randstate interface) and BigFloat support (including for `randn`).

I'll update it later with the documentation as soon as we settle on the interface.
