Provide a custom random number generator for Faker

[xDivisionByZerox]

We currently have the issue #2195 which asks for a way to provide a custom random number generator to Faker. Currently Faker uses an implementation of Mersenne Twister.
We totally see the need to sometimes provide your own implementation over our internal one. Because of that we want to make it possible to do exactly that.

But as all good developers, we do have problems with naming things as well.
Our first instinct was to name it PRNG, as it is the technical correct term. But we got concerened that PRNG might not be as intuitive to most developers. RNG on the other hand side might be more intuitve, but is technically not correct.
We also thought about naming it random. The reason being that the provided value is used to provide all the "randomness" in Faker.

If you have any other suggestions, we encourage you to leave a comment and share your insight. Every kind of feedback is welcome as it contributes to the ongoing enhancement of Faker.

How about Random?

After having a look into https://github.com/boo1ean/mersenne-twister#usage and some sleep, I think I would also be satisfied with just generator
