Ichthyostega 693ba32c8e Library: sharpen criteria for detecting glitches ...

A deeper investigation revealed that we can show the result of glitches
for each relevant situation, simply by scrutinising the produced distribution.
Even the 64-bit-Variant shows a skewed distribuion, in spite of all numbers
being within definition range.

So the conclusion is: we can expect tilted results, but in many cases
this might not be an issue, if the result range is properly wrapped / clipped.
Notably this is the case if we just want to inject a randomised sleep into a multithreaded test setup

Build a self-contained test case to document these findings.
