[issue17489] random.Random implements __getstate__() and __reduce__()

[Víctor Terrón]

New submission from Víctor Terrón:

The random.Random class implements both the __getstate__() and __reduce__() methods. My knowledge of the pickle module is very limited, but apparently this causes __getstate__() never to get called. Maybe this is a remnant from earlier code, or are both methods actually needed?
