shuf: fix random line selection. Closes 9971 """ For example, given input file: foo bar baz after shuffling the input file, foo will never end up back on the first line. This came to light when I ran into a use-case where someone was selecting a random line from a file using shuf | head -n 1, and the results on busybox were showing a statistical anomaly (as in, the first line would never ever be picked) vs the same process running on environments that had gnu coreutils installed. On line https://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/coreutils/shuf.c#n56 it uses r %= i, which will result in 0 <= r < i, while the algorithm specifies 0 <= r <= i.
