This adds e.g. rand(Pair{Int,Int}) producing a random pair of Int.

Do we want this or should we close?

I still think this is useful and unambiguous as to what this should do. I find this is somewhat similar to #50251 (rand for tuple types, which I had actually also planned to implement if this PR rand(::Type{<:Pair}) was accepted), and I think the decision to merge or not should be the same for both.

May I suggest getting them both rebased and marked for triage to consider?

Now that #50251 is merged, I will also merge this one, as rand(Tuple{X, Y}) is so similar to rand(Pair{X, Y}).

I believe this broke RandomExtensions.jl, see JuliaRandom/RandomExtensions.jl#17
