Routines for the generation of pseudo-random and quasi-random points.

Generate points on a sphere per Marsaglia (1972).

The return code is the number of points generated.

The user is responsible for selecting the numerical generator used to supply pseudo or quasi-random numbers to bg_sph_sample - different types of inputs may be needed depending on the application.
