* Fix random distribution in bitArray.PickRandom
Previously it was very biased. 63 "_" followed by a single "x" had
much greater odds of being chosen. Additionally, the last element was
skewed. This fixes that by first preproccessing the set of all true
indices, and then randomly selecting a single element from there.
This commit also makes the code here significantly simpler, and
improves test cases.
* unlock mtx right after we select true indices
This now makes bit array functions which take in a second bit array, thread
safe. Previously there was a warning on bitarray.Update to be lock the
second parameter externally if thread safety wasrequired.
This was not done within the codebase, so it was fine to change here.
Closes#2080
Fixes#169
Fixes https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/1322
The previous code was very trusting assuming that
rational actors will use this code. However, Byzantine
actors don't care and in the case of the linked issue
negative lengths can be sent to this code unfettered
having been received from a peer.
This code is essentially just a sign change from
`==`
to
`<=`
and we've gutted out that attack by being more defensive.

The code in here has been fragile when it comes to nil
but these edge cases were never tested, although they've
showed up in the wild and were only noticed because
the reporter actually read the logs otherwise
we'd have never known.
This changes covers some of these cases and adds some tests.

Updates https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/973
Removed usages of math/rand.DefaultSource in favour of our
own source that's seeded with a completely random source
and is safe for use in concurrent in multiple goroutines.
Also extend some functionality that the stdlib exposes such as
* RandPerm
* RandIntn
* RandInt31
* RandInt63
Also added an integration test whose purpose is to be run as
a consistency check to ensure that our results never repeat
hence that our internal PRNG is uniquely seeded each time.
This integration test can be triggered by setting environment variable:
`TENDERMINT_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true`
for example
```shell
TENDERMINT_INTEGRATION_TESTS=true go test
```
