Related to: #4641

Bug description

A recent request (0004641) was filed asking for bit twiddling functions for the
Big_Int in the Num library. In the same vein I would like to ask if random number
generation may also be added the Num library, specifically for the integers.

Additional information

I am working on a simulator to test a machine learning algorithm and require
the use of arbitrary precision integers and the generation of random
values of such integers. Currently to do this I must use the GMP library
(http://gmplib.org/) which I could otherwise avoid.

The num library has been split off from the compiler codebase: https://github.com/ocaml/num
