Ondřej Surý 06f9163d51 Remove C++ support from the public header
Since BIND 9 headers are not longer public, there's no reason to keep
the ISC_LANG_BEGINDECL and ISC_LANG_ENDDECL macros to support including
them from C++ projects.

*
* This is better than ``isc_random() % upper_bound'' as it avoids
* "modulo bias" when the upper bound is not a power of two. This
* function is also faster, because it usually avoids doing any
* divisions (which are typically very slow).
*
* It uses rejection sampling to ensure uniformity, so it may require
* multiple iterations to get a result; the probability of needing to
* resample is very small when the upper_bound is small, rising to 0.5
* when upper_bound is UINT32_MAX/2.
