Support random offsets when using ranges with a step value in cron. This extends the random range syntax to support step values. Instead of choosing a random number between the high and low values, the field is treated as a range with a random offset less than the step value. This can be used to avoid thundering herd problems where multiple machines contact a server all at the same time via cron jobs. The syntax is similar to the existing range/step syntax but uses a random range. For example, instead of "0-59/10" in the minutes field, "0~59/10" can be used to run a command every 10 minutes where the first command starts at a random offset in the range [0,9]. The high and low numbers are optional, "~/10" can be used instead. Requested by job@, OK phessler@

rename the "options" field to "flags" (as suggested by millert): an optional options field was difficult to describe concisely; - tweak wording accordingly - sort flags - condense STANDARDS to avoid text repitition, as suggested by deraadt - document flags may be combined, now deraadt fixed the parsing ok millert deraadt

Add support for random values using the '~' operator. For example "0~30" will result in a random value between 0 and 30 inclusive. If either (or both) of the numbers on either side of the '~' are omitted, the appropriate limit (low or high) for the field will be used. OK deraadt@ beck@ jmc@
