Python 3.13 random CLI

Starting with Python 3.13 all the following will generate a random integer between 1 and N inclusive:

python -m random N
python -m random -i N
python -m random --integer N

Previously you would also do it with -c as mentioned at https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/140767/32558 but now it is cuter.

It doesn't seem to be possible to change the lower bound (1) with this method just yet.
