Expand the crate-family diagram from "[other RNG crates]" to enumerate each rust-random-maintained crate (rand_chacha, rand_hc, rand_isaac, rand_jitter, rand_pcg, rand_sfc, rand_seeder, rand_xorshift, rand_xoshiro), and add matching entries to the prose lists. `getrandom` now depends on `rand_core` (rather than the reverse), and `rand` depends on `getrandom` via the `sys_rng` feature. Reorganise the diagram to reflect this.
This was only related to our self-hosted docs, which were removed in rust-random/rand#1692.
Only they implement the `rand_core` traits.
