[ruby-core:119925] [Ruby master Feature#20893] random/formatter.rb: Separate from securerandom

Issue #20893 has been reported by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).

----------------------------------------
Feature #20893: random/formatter.rb: Separate from securerandom
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20893

* Author: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)
* Status: Open
* Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
----------------------------------------
For historical reasons, random/formatter.rb is included in ruby​​​​/securerandom, but it does not contain any security-related methods as evidenced by the fact that its path is not under `securerandom/`, but only contains generic methods for PRNGs, including the standard class `Random`.

So I propose to either:
1. put it back in the standard library, or
2. separate it into a new gem.

Adding a new dependency may not be welcomed, as seen in the recent issues with base64.

>put it back in the standard library, or

I prefer that approach.
