The new function Random::BranchOff will yield a separate Random instance that is seeded based on the current Random's state and some key string (so we can branch off multiple instances at a single point in time). The original state is not modified by this.
With this feature, we can split a single long sequence of random bytes into a hierarchy of sequences, so that e.g. operations can be run in parallel with their own deterministic Random instances.
