Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] random() function (#2826)

Common use-cases for [pseudo-]randomness in CSS is for creating a visual variance between elements. Right now the most common way to achieve this is through “cicada principle” technique and adjacent methods ([original article](https://www.sitepoint.com/the-cicada-principle-and-why-it-matters-to-web-designers/), [article](https://lea.verou.me/2020/07/the-cicada-principle-revisited-with-css-variables/) by @LeaVerou), but it can be very tricky to set up.

Actual usage from the top of my head (encountered in the last few months and remembered about them):
- https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2020/04/15/pseudo-randomly-adding-illustrations-with-css/
- https://log.hidde.blog/books/ (colors can be randomized, rotation of the books is pseudo-randomized).
- https://adrianroselli.com/ — the color scheme for the accent color is chosen randomly on page load.
