The reference implementation of the "Drawing Random Floating-Point Numbers from
an Interval" paper contains two mistakes that will result in erroneous values
being returned under certain circumstances:
- For large values of `g` the multiplication of `k * g` might overflow to
infinity.
- The value of `ceilint()` might exceed 2^53, possibly leading to a rounding
error when promoting `k` to double within the multiplication of `k * g`.
This commit updates the implementation based on Prof. Goualard suggestions
after reaching out to him. It will correctly handle inputs larger than 2^-1020
in absolute values. This limitation will be documented and those inputs
possibly be rejected in a follow-up commit depending on performance concerns.
