math/rand: use fastrand64 if possible

Now that the top-level math/rand functions are auto-seeded by default
(issue #54880), use the runtime fastrand64 function when 1) Seed
has not been called; 2) the GODEBUG randautoseed=0 is not used.

The benchmarks run quickly and are relatively noisy, but they show
significant improvements for parallel calls to the top-level functions.
