/// @brief Calls @a func with a thread-local UniformRandomBitGenerator
/// (specifically of type utils::RandomBase).
///
/// @note The provided `RandomBase` instance is not cryptographically secure.
///
/// @a func should not contain any task context switches. That is, it should not
/// use any userver synchronization primitives and should not access
/// userver-based web or database clients.
///
/// @a func should not store the reference to the provided thread-local variable
/// for use outside of the WithThreadLocal scope.
///
/// Prefer utils::RandRange if possible.
///
/// ## Usage example
///
/// Standard distributions can be passed to WithDefaultRandom directly:
/// @snippet utils/rand_test.cpp  WithDefaultRandom distribution
///
/// A lambda can be passed to perform a series of operations more efficiently:
/// @snippet utils/rand_test.cpp  WithDefaultRandom multiple
///
/// @param func functor that will be invoked with the RNG
/// @returns The invocation result of @a func
