Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked GLM random.inl implementation and the existing DirectXTK SimpleMath APIs. Define the supported distributions and helper interfaces before implementing them; done means the requested Gaussian, disk, rectangle, sphere, and related random-number helpers are available and validated.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description
