Default cron(8) now supports random ranges with steps

Support random offsets when using ranges with a step value in cron.
This extends the random range syntax to support step values. Instead
of choosing a random number between the high and low values, the
field is treated as a range with a random offset less than the step
value. This can be used to avoid thundering herd problems where
multiple machines contact a server all at the same time via cron jobs.
