  replace QRandomGenerator with MythRandom

Generating uniform random floating point numbers is problematic
and best avoided, but that change is for later.

  mythfrontend/galleryviews.cpp: replace floating point random numbers

with fixed point

Generating uniformly random floating point values is difficult and
most implementations are currently bugged and may return the upper
bound when they are supposed to be half open intervals.

Instead, scale the `double`s to `uint32_t`s and use uniformly random
integers.
