[Bug]: algorithm\container.h is missing random header and causing compilation error when building protobuf in VS2022

[scfwilson]

Describe the issue

What happened

I have built a gRPC 1.62.1 C++ nuget package using cmake.

When I consume this gRPC package in my project I get the errors shown below. After investigating it the compilation error is happening when we compile the protobuf generated code. This code uses the algorthim\container.h which implements the c_sample(). This uses the std::uniform_int_distribution.

The solution seems to be if you include the random header in container.h the compilation errors do not occur.

This has also been reported against protobuf 16475

Steps to reproduce the problem

Create a simple proto file and run the protoc.exe against it to generate C++ files.
Now using VS2022 compile the file and you will get
1>C:\Git\spectrum.pagehandlerclient\packages\grpc.cpp.static.x64.1.62.1\build\native\x64\Debug\include\absl\algorithm\container.h(797,14): error C2039: 'uniform_int_distribution': is not a member of 'std' 1>(compiling source file 'codegen/PageServiceV1.grpc.pb.cc') 1>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.39.33519\include\unordered_set(23,1): 1>see declaration of 'std'
