Proposed commit message
This is a follow up to #42025 that migrated from math/rand to the newer math/rand/v2 package. Currently there is nothing preventing contributors to commiting code using math/rand and regressing these changes.
There is still code in beats that use math/rand, but it is mainly in tests. Since the linter only runs on new code I'm not fixing it here.
Introduce a linter that catches math/rand imports in Go files.
