/**
* Generates a pseudo-random number less than n
*
* The method used is faster and of better quality than `SDL_rand() % n`.
* However just like with `SDL_rand() % n`, bias increases with larger n.
*
* Example: to simulate a d6 use `SDL_rand_n(6) + 1`
* The +1 converts 0..5 to 1..6
*
* There are no guarantees as to the quality of the random sequence produced,
* and this should not be used for cryptography or anything that requires good
* random distribution.
*
* \param n the number of possible values
*
* \returns a random value in the range of [0 .. n-1]
*
* \threadsafety All calls should be made from a single thread
*
* \since This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
