> Implement a wrapper around a {{UniformRandomProvider}} that can cache the underlying source of random bytes for use in the methods {{nextBoolean()}} and {{nextInt()}} (in the case of {{LongProvider}}). E.g.
> {code:java}
> LongProvider provider = RandomSource.create(RandomSource.SPLIT_MIX_64);
> CachedLongProvider rng = new CachedLongProvider(provider);
> // Uses cached nextLong() 64 times
> rng.nextBoolean();
> // Uses cached nextLong() twice
> rng.nextInt();
> IntProvider provider = RandomSource.create(RandomSource.KISS);
> CachedIntProvider rng2 = new CachedIntProvider(provider);
> // Uses cached nextInt() 32 times
> rng2.nextBoolean();
> // This could be wrapped by a factory method:
> UniformRandomProvider rng = CachedUniformRandomProviderFactory.wrap(
>         // Any supported source: IntProvider or LongProvider
>         RandomSource.create(RandomSource...));
> {code}
> The implementation should be speed tested to determine the benefit for {{nextBoolean()}} and if {{nextInt()}} can be improved for {{LongProviders}}.
