Research direction
Start with the Boost random module and the linked Xorshift Wikipedia page to understand which of Marshaglia's and Vigna's generators are being requested. Confirm the intended generator variants and the module's existing conventions before estimating the work; done means the requested generators are added with corresponding validation in the project's established test structure.

Description
I found the Xorshift Wikipedia page and saw that Boost doesn't have Marshaglia's nor Vigna's generators.
Is there a reason for that? If not, I'd like to request those :) I'd like to help adding them to Boost (if that's the case), but keep in mind that I'm not an expert in PRNGs.
