Implementation of the RANLUX++ generator.

RANLUX++ is an LCG equivalent of RANLUX using 576 bit numbers.

The idea of the generator (such as the initialization method) and the algorithm for the modulo operation are described in A. Sibidanov, A revision of the subtract-with-borrow random numbergenerators, Computer Physics Communications*, 221(2017), 299-303, preprint https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.03123.pdf

The code is loosely based on the Assembly implementation by A. Sibidanov available at https://github.com/sibidanov/ranluxpp/.

Compared to the original generator, this implementation contains a fix to ensure that the modulo operation of the LCG always returns the smallest value congruent to the modulus (based on notes by M. Lüscher). Also, the generator converts the LCG state back to RANLUX numbers (implementation based on notes by M. Lüscher). This avoids a bias in the generated numbers because the upper bits of the LCG state, that is smaller than the modulus $$m = 2^{576} - 2^{240} + 1$$ (not a power of 2!), have a higher probability of being 0 than 1. And finally, this implementation draws 48 random bits for each generated floating point number (instead of 52 bits as in the original generator) to maintain the theoretical properties from understanding the original transition function of RANLUX as a chaotic dynamical system.
