Why change it from not(target_pointer_width = "64")? Even with hypothetical 128-bit targets it's better to use Xoshiro128++ than to break builds. Alternatively, it's worth to at least add a compile_error! stating that we support only 16, 32, and 64 bit targets.

- Because this is explicit about what is supported and recommended
- Effectively it is a compile error
- I don't care about theoretical targets. If people want to target 16- or 128-bits on rand, they can submit patches.

Why not use compile_error! here? Also, why can't we use UniformSize::U32 on 16-bit targets?

- I forgot about it — I'll switch to
compile_error! - Dependencies don't compile and it seems like no-one cares much about 16-bit (Supported target_pointer_width: 32, 64-bit only? #1468), so there's no point wasting time here.

As with gen_index, this should probably be exposed somehow (left for a future PR).

CHANGELOG.mdentrySummary
Fixes some of the smaller issues noted here. Specifically:
choose_multiple_arrayrand::distributions::SliceFurther, this makes it more explicit which
target_pointer_widthsizesSmallRngbackends are intended to support (the 16-bit choice is not intended to be optimal).
