treewide: use get_random_{u8,u16}() when possible, part 2

Rather than truncate a 32-bit value to a 16-bit value or an 8-bit value,
simply use the get_random_{u8,u16}() functions, which are faster than
wasting the additional bytes from a 32-bit value. This was done by hand,
identifying all of the places where one of the random integer functions
was used in a non-32-bit context.
