[New-bugs-announce] [issue17492] Increase test coverage for random (up to 99%)

[Víctor Terrón]

New submission from Víctor Terrón:

I'm attaching a patch to increase the code coverage of the random module to 99% (only one line missing, see issue #17489; it's reported as 89%, however, because of the _test(N=2000) function, which is not executed when the unit tests are run). Many of the new tests, especially gammavariate(), involve mocking Random.random() so that it returns a series of fixed values that guarantee that all the branches of the algorithm are executed — hopefully this has been a good idea!
