Overuse and misuse of \techterm in [rand]

[jwakely]

Terms are defined using \techterm and then also referred to using it e.g. [rand.req.urng] uses it for uniform random bit generator in paragraphs 1 and 2. These terms are not indexed, because they're introduced with \techterm not \defn.

We also have terms that don't need defining here, like \techterm{signed} and \techterm{unsigned}.

[jensmaurer]

We should consider whether there is space for non-indexed, yet italics \techterms that are only valid locally, or whether we should strive for indexed \defn terms in all cases.

[jensmaurer]

Editorial meeting consensus: As a rule of thumb, if a term is local to a subclause, do not make it italics and do not index it, i.e. delete any \techterm or \term decoration. Anything with a larger scope should get a (scoped) index entry (e.g. via \defnx). Net result: \techterm has been excised from the standard.
