math/rand: warn against using package for security-sensitive work

Urge users of math/rand to consider using crypto/rand when doing
security-sensitive work.

Related to issue #11871. While we haven't reached consensus on how
to make the package inherently safer, everyone agrees that the docs
for math/rand can be improved.
