Is it feasible and/or even useful to document the probability of
collisions for the various random number generation methods in the
SecureRandom module?

I feel having a note to read about the possibility of collisions
happening for the various key lengths and generator functions might help
a lot of beginners. Although there are many birthday paradox checkers
online, I felt it would be a nice to have on the documentation pages
directly.
