Optimize small random numbers generation

Description

Optimize small random numbers generation

In all places except two spa_get_random() is used for small values,
and the consumers do not require well seeded high quality values.
Switch those two exceptions directly to random_get_pseudo_bytes()
and optimize spa_get_random(), renaming it to random_in_range(),
since it is not related to SPA or ZFS in general.

On FreeBSD directly map random_in_range() to new prng32_bounded() KPI
added in FreeBSD 13. On Linux and in user-space just reduce the type
used to uint32_t to avoid more expensive 64bit division.
