gh-91838: Use HTTPS links in docs for resources which redirect to HTTPS (GH-95527)
If an HTTP link is redirected to a same looking HTTPS link, the latter can
be used directly without changes in readability and behavior.
It protects from a men-in-the-middle attack.

This change does not affect Python examples.

bpo-40286: Add randbytes() method to random.Random (GH-19527)
Add random.randbytes() function and random.Random.randbytes()
method to generate random bytes.

Modify secrets.token_bytes() to use SystemRandom.randbytes()
rather than calling directly os.urandom().

Rename also genrand_int32() to genrand_uint32(), since it returns an
unsigned 32-bit integer, not a signed integer.

The _random module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE defined.
