random: simplify API for random address requests

To date, all callers of randomize_range() have set the length to 0, and
check for a zero return value.  For the current callers, the only way to
get zero returned is if end <= start.  Since they are all adding a
constant to the start address, this is unnecessary.

We can remove a bunch of needless checks by simplifying the API to do just
what everyone wants, return an address between [start, start + range).

While we're here, s/get_random_int/get_random_long/.  No current call site
is adversely affected by get_random_int(), since all current range
requests are < UINT_MAX.  However, we should match caller expectations to
avoid coming up short (ha!) in the future.

All current callers to randomize_range() chose to use the start address if
randomize_range() failed.  Therefore, we simplify things by just returning
the start address on error.

randomize_range() will be removed once all callers have been converted
over to randomize_addr().
