        Fixed <rdar://problem/5429064> 141885 Safari JavaScript: Math.random() slightly less randomly distributed than on Safari / Mac

        Math.random was skewed slightly upward because it assumed that RAND_MAX was outside the range of
        values that rand() might return. This problem was particularly pronounced on Windows because
        the range of values returned by rand() on Windows is 2^16 smaller than the range of values
        return by rand() on Mac.

        Fixed by accounting for RAND_MAX return values. Also, switched Windows over to rand_s, which has
        a range that's equal to rand()'s range on Mac.

        It does not appear to help anywhere but Mac OS X on PPC, due to
        pthread_getspecific being slow there. On Intel, removing the
        optimization results in a ~1.5% PLT speedup, a ~1-5% JS iBench
        speedup, and a ~1.5% HTML iBench speedup. On PPC this change is a

        - Added Vector::appendRange(), which appends to a vector based on a given start and end iterator
        - Added keys() and values() functions to HashMap iterators, which give keys-only and values-only iterators
        
        Together, these allow easy copying of a set, or the keys or values of a map, into a Vector. Examples:
        
        HashMap<int, int> map;
        HashSet<int> set;
        Vector<int> vec;
        // ...
        vec.appendRange(set.begin(), set.end());
        vec.appendRange(map.begin().keys(), map.end().keys());
        vec.appendRange(map.begin().values(), map.end().values());

        This also allows for a slightly nicer syntax when iterating a map. Instead of saying 
        (*it)->first, you can say *it.values(). Similarly for keys. Example:
        
        HashMap<int, int>::const_iterator end = map.end();
        for (HashMap<int, int>::const_iterator it = map.begin(); it != end; ++it)
        printf(" [%d => %d]", *it.keys(), *it.values());

        A call to fastRealloc was failing which lead to UString::expandCapacity leaking the buffer it was trying to reallocate.
        It also resulted in the underlying UString::rep having both a null baseString and buf field, which meant that attempting
        to access the contents of the string after the failed memory reallocation would crash.

        A third issue is that expandedSize size was calculating the new length in a way that led to an integer overflow occurring.
        Attempting to allocate a string more than 190,000,000 characters long would fail a the integer overflow would lead to a
        memory allocation of around 3.6GB being attempted rather than the expected 390MB.  Sizes that would lead to an overflow

        - JavaScriptCore part of fix for <rdar://problem/5300291> Optimize GC to reclaim big, temporary objects (like XMLHttpRequest.responseXML) quickly
        
        Also, as a side effect of optimizations included in this patch:
        - 7% speedup on JavaScript iBench
        - 4% speedup on "Celtic Kane" JS benchmark
        
        The basic idea is explained in a big comment in collector.cpp. When unusually 
        large objecs are allocated, we push the next GC closer on the assumption that
        most objects are short-lived.
        
        I also did the following two optimizations in the course of tuning
        this not to be a performance regression:

        1) Change UString::Rep to hold a self-pointer as the baseString in
        the unshared case, instead of a null pointer; this removes a
        number of null checks in hot code because many places already
        wanted to use the rep itself or the baseString as appropriate.
        
        2) Avoid creating duplicate StringImpls when creating a
        StringInstance (the object wrapper for a JS string) or calling
        their methods. Since a temporary wrapper object is made every time
        a string method is called, this resulted in two useless extra
        StringImpls being allocated for no reason whenever a String method
        was invoked on a string value. Now we bypass those.

        - fixed <rdar://problem/5300291> Optimize GC to reclaim big, temporary objects (like XMLHttpRequest.responseXML) quickly
        
        With this plus related JavaScriptCore changes, a number of XMLHttpRequest situations that
        result in huge data sets are addressed, including a single huge responseXML on an XMR done
        repeatedly, or accessing responseText repeatedly during loading of a single large XHR.
        
        In addition to the GC changes in JavaScriptCore, I changed responseText to be stored as a
        KJS::UString instead of a WebCore::String so that the JavaScript responseText value can
        share the buffer (indeed multiple intermediate responseTexts can share its buffer).

        
        First of all, here's some manual test cases that will each blow out the process VM without this fix,
