Use the Pcg32 class to represent a pseudo-random number generator that uses the PCG32 XSH-RR (Xorshift-High, Random-Rotate) algorithm by Melissa O'Neill.

This generator features a 64-bit state with a period of 2⁶⁴. The algorithm is very fast and produces very good random sequences. Moreover, it is possible to run several sequences in parallel.

Pcg32 can be used in place of the Random class to obtain pseudo-random numbers of a higher quality.

Note: This generator uses the new Layer 3 architecture with ScalarGenerator32<TEngine> for optimal performance.
