/* It's a bit tricky to get this right, so please test the code well if you
   hack with it.  Some early versions of the function produced random numbers
   with the leading limb == 0, and some versions never made the most
   significant bit set.

   This code and mpz_rrandomb are almost identical, though the latter makes bit
   runs of 1 to 16, and doesn't force the first block to contain 1-bits.

   The RANDS random state currently produces 32 random bits per underlying lc
   invocation (BITS_PER_RANDCALL).  We therefore ask for that, presuming that
   limbs are at least 32 bits.  FIXME: Handle smaller limbs, such as 4-bit
   limbs useful for testing purposes, or limbs truncated by nailing.

   For efficiency, we make sure to use most bits returned from _gmp_rand, since
   the underlying random number generator is slow.  Keep returned bits in
   ranm/ran, and a count of how many bits remaining in ran_nbits.  */
