rand: replace Rng.shuffle's functionality with .shuffle_mut.

Deprecates the `shuffle_mut` name in favour of `shuffle` too.

In future there will be many different types of owned
vectors/vector-likes (e.g. DST's ~[], Vec, SmallVec, Rope, ...), and so
privileging just `Vec` with the "functional" `shuffle` method is silly.
