WG21-P4037R1 Supporting signed char And unsigned char In <random>

This paper says:

No feature-test macro is provided because these changes are intended to be applied as a defect report.

When this paper was accepted at the 2026-03 meeting in Croydon, it wasn't formally voted in as a Defect Report, but I believe that it should be treated as a de facto DR, implemented unconditionally (i.e. all the way down to C++14).

We also have a bunch of obnoxious workarounds in our tests and benchmarks that can be removed.
