### Description
This RFC proposes to generalize the generation of random arrays in C benchmarks for sorted-input packages. It mainly tries to add a random factor for the generated values and make use of the already existing `rand_double()` function and `time.h` header for consistency between packages.
For example, for double precision packages, to be changed from: (e.g., from `stats/base/strided/dminsorted`)
```C
x = (double *) malloc( len * sizeof( double ) );
for ( i = 0; i < len; i++ ) {
x[ i ] = i;
}
```
To:
```C
x = (double *) malloc( len * sizeof( double ) );
for ( i = 0; i < len; i++ ) {
x[ i ] = (double)i + rand_double();
}
```
Packages that are directly affected by this (add more if found):
- [ ] `stats/strided/dmediansorted`
- [ ] `stats/strided/dmaxsorted`
- [ ] `stats/strided/dminsorted`
- [ ] `stats/strided/smediansorted`
- [ ] `stats/strided/smaxsorted`
- [ ] `stats/strided/sminsorted`
### Related Issues
None.
### Questions
#### Question 1
I suggest that we either enforce this or refactor the already existing packages that don't use any randomness by removing the `time.h` header and `rand_double()` function since they're not used anywhere in the benchmark.
#### Question 2
What about the absolute sorted-input packages? Current approach is: (from `stats/base/strided/dmaxabssorted`)
```C
x = (double *) malloc( len * sizeof( double ) );
for ( i = 0; i < len; i++ ) {
x[ i ] = i - (len/2);
}
```
### Other
No.

Hướng dẫn đóng góp
Hướng nghiên cứu
Start by reviewing the listed stats/strided/*sorted benchmark packages, especially dmediansorted, dmaxsorted, dminsorted, smediansorted, smaxsorted, and sminsorted, along with their existing rand_double() and time.h usage. Resolve whether absolute sorted-input packages are included; done means the agreed generation approach is applied consistently or unused randomness support is removed across the affected benchmarks.
