awk: Use random(3) instead of rand(3)

While none of them is considered even near to cryptographic
level, random(3) is a better random generator than rand(3).

Use random(3) for awk as is done in other systems.

Thanks to Chenguang Li for discussing this in the lists
and submitting the patch upstream.
