This addresses rust-random#1497 by adding `Distribution<u64>` It also solves rust-random#1312 by not allowing `lambda` bigger than `1.844e19` (this also makes them always fit into `u64`)

This addresses #1497 by adding
Distribution<u64>It also solves #1312 by not allowing
lambdabigger than1.844e19(this also makes them always fit intou64)Details
The
Distribution<u64>is a breaking change and will have a bit of negative impact on the call side, because it requires sometimes type annotations.Alternatively we keep the maximum lambda and document that it is always safe to just
as u64on the samples if required.
