Description

This is mainly for @dr0cloud but @tclune might know of a good alternative as well.

Namely, it would be nice for portability reasons to remove the requirement of MKL in RRTMGP. For example, the Docker build image for GEOS has MKL and it's responsible for about 2 GB! Obviously, we'd want to use the MKL if found, but if not, if we could failover to something as simple as Fortran's random_number() that'd be good.
