Subject: [PATCH] core: rename Random* to RandomizedDelay*
The name RandomSec is too generic: "Sec" just specifies the default
unit type, and "Random" by itself is not enough. Rename to something
that should give the user general idea what the setting does without
looking at documentation.
Cherry-picked from: 6f5d79986a9c98b9cacc83f865fed957e4e6e4e6
Resolves: #1305279
