Optimize ts::Random performance by reusing distribution objects (#12624)

* Optimize ts::Random performance by reusing distribution objects

The ts::Random class was creating new std::uniform_int_distribution and
std::uniform_real_distribution objects on every call to random() and
drandom(), which is inefficient.

This change consolidates the random number generator state (engine and
distributions) into a single thread_local State struct, so the distribution
objects are created once per thread and reused across all calls.

Performance impact:
- Eliminates repeated construction/destruction of distribution objects
- Maintains thread-safety through thread_local storage
- Benchmark shows ~7% improvement in random() call performance
