This replaces the usage of math/rand with crypto/rand to support downstream usages of the random package that have security implications, such as the csrf middleware.
I don't see it used a lot of places, the only place outside of the csrf middleware appears to be the request_id middleware. If it makes more sense to ensure performance for non-crypographic usage of this package (which request_id middleware appears to be), I can create a second type and constructor for
SecureRandom
that uses the crypto/rand source, leaving the existing behavior for the Random type. Just let me know what you prefer.
