annotate random.h @ 567:bd4052d9050c libavutil

Globally rename the header inclusion guard names. Consistently apply this rule: the guard name is obtained from the filename by stripping the leading "lib", converting '/' and '.' to '_' and uppercasing the resulting name. Guard names in the root directory have to be prefixed by "FFMPEG_".
