Merge #483

483: Make `rand` dependency optional (but enabled by default) r=kvark a=LukasKalbertodt

Closes #481 

This PR leaves the feature enabled by default so that this can be released as a minor version soon. (I would suggest to disable it by default in future versions, but that's another discussion.)

The changes are pretty straight forward with one catch: I changed some `use` statements to nested imports (otherwise, there would be even more `#[cfg(feature = "rand")]` lines). Nested imports were stabilized in 1.25 (see [the edition guide on this feature](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2018/module-system/nested-imports-with-use.html)). I'm not sure how cgmaths policy on minimum compiler version is. Maybe cgmath already requires a >= 1.25 compiler for other reasons. If my change is a problem, just tell me and I will change the imports back.
