Description
We have bundled our own Drand48 for a long time. We should not have any logic in Configure regarding this as it is redundant.

We probably should get rid of randbits and RANDBITS as well. I cant see any use of them that isn't a bad idea.

This also applies to srand48, and random and srandom. Basically Configure shouldnt be concerning itself with random functions from the OS, it should just hard code the internal implementation we provide.

Steps to Reproduce
N/A

Expected behavior
Configure shouldnt probe for Drand48 or any other RNG.

Perl configuration
This is true as of perl 5.41.9 at least.
