Subject: SecureRandom.alphanumeric implemented.

[ruby-core:68098] [Feature #10849] proposed by Andrew Butterfield.

SecureRandom.choose and SecureRandom.graph is not included.
(The implementation has SecureRandom.choose but it is private.)

I feel the method name, SecureRandom.choose, doesn't represent
the behavior well.

The actual use cases of SecureRandom.graph is not obvious.
