/**
* Returns linear congruential deterministic pseudorandom data, e.g.
*
* uint64_t x = lemur64();
*
* You can generate different types of numbers as follows:
*
* int64_t x = lemur64() >> 1; // make positive signed integer
* double x = _real1(lemur64()); // make float on [0,1]-interval
*
* If you want a fast pseudorandom number generator that seeds itself
* automatically on startup and fork() then consider rand64(). If you
* want true random data then consider rdseed, rdrand, and getrandom.
*
* @return 64 bits of pseudorandom data
* @note this is Lemire's Lehmer generator
* @note this function takes at minimum 1 cycle
* @note this function passes bigcrush and practrand
* @note this function is not intended for cryptography
* @see rand64(), rngset(), _real1(), _real2(), _real3()
