Simple and fast counter based non-crypto random generator.

The algorithm is based on `Middle Square Weyl Sequence RNG`.
See [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.06278v7) for details.

**NOTE**: Not cryptographically secure.

There are several note-worthy properties to the algorithm:

- State is represented by counter, which is incremented to produce new value, hence making
it easy to predict how state would change.
- The code is short and simple, only taking minimum amount of operations to produce uniform output.
- `key` must have close to equal number of zeroes and ones for optimal output.
