Removed Random::Formatter

[hsbt]

This is another try with #29

FWIW I think this causes problems with Rails on ruby 3.2.

Rails was using SecureRandom.alphanumeric here - https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/4060253ea7bf1a04c7b2368ffc17ddcf991997f9/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/securerandom.rb#L20, but now throws wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 0..1).

With the removal of SecureRandom.alphanumeric, that falls back to Random.alphanumeric. On ruby 3.2, that only accepts a single argument:

defalphanumeric(n=nil)n=16ifn.nil?choose(ALPHANUMERIC,n)end

As far as I can tell, the only functional changes to Random::Formatter between v0.2.0 (which was installed with ruby 3.1.6) and v0.3.2 are:

• #alphanumeric keyword arg for characters (which affects Rails, as @jdelStrother mentioned)
• #uuid_v7 (and #uuid_v4 alias)

@jdelStrother@nevans Thank you for sharing that. I and @nobu couldn't care these cases before removing Random::Formatter. I'll consider them with compatibility.

[nevans]

@hsbt Would it be possible (this close to the 3.4 release) to create a new random-formatter gem? For full backward compatibility, it should be an explicit dependency of securerandom. I created a proof-of-concept here: https://github.com/nevans/securerandom/tree/random-formatter. It shouldn't be merged into this repo, so I won't create a PR. But here's the diff, for comparison: master...nevans:securerandom:random-formatter
