Use Python's secrets module instead of random (#9984 )

Functionally identical, but more obviously cryptographically secure.
...Explicit is better than implicit?

Avoids needing to know that SystemRandom() implies a CSPRNG, and
complies with the big scary red box on the documentation for random:

> Warning:
>   The pseudo-random generators of this module should not be used for
>   security purposes. For security or cryptographic uses, see the
>   secrets module.
