Description
Creating this pull request on behalf of @jdumas who brings up this issue here https://github.com/libigl/libigl/pull/1597 .
There are many functions that use Eigen::Random or rand or shuffle that apparently should use C++11 style random number generators. We should do this as one pass and provide a standard to put in the style guidelines that new functions can follow.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked pull request 1597 and locating all uses of Eigen::Random, rand, and shuffle across the library. Determine the project-wide C++11 random-number standard and identify the affected functions and style-guideline changes; done means the one-pass migration and documented standard are complete.
