Updates the Random SC that was IPO'ed end of 2023 with working code.

Compiles in VS, not tested in environment yet. Based on CFB explanations and discussion in https://discord.com/channels/768887649540243497/1447531959931899974.

I haven't reviewed anything in detail, just two quick comments:

• the code breaks several contract language rules, such as no C-style arrays and no pointers are allowed, see https://github.com/qubic/core/blob/main/doc/contracts.md
• the client-side entropy miner code is required as well

Hi Philipp,

Where do you want example miner code. It's now in https://github.com/ThatsNotMySourceCode/Random/tree/main/Example.

@philippwerner here is a PR request to the main branch

Guys, read https://github.com/qubic/core/blob/main/doc/contracts.md and fix the problems! If you want to contribute, do it properly and stop wasting the core devs' time!

... no pointers, no [], no local stack variables, etc

Sorry dr. Phil. It's my first Qubic contract. I wasn't aware of all these rules, I based it on https://docs.qubic.org/developers/smart-contract-architecture/, but then there are other pages elsewhere that have additional rules. In our Discord channel it was suggested to make a PR so others could help and review, I'm just helping to finally get this Random SC live after years...

Anyway, I updated it and it passes the verify tool now. Maybe other devs could review it first.

Sorry for my harsh words and thank your for your contribution. I have created an issue for correcting this weakness in the docs: qubic/docs#47
It would be good indeed if someone else could review this, because I'm very busy with implementing oracle support in the core.
