Returns a list which is a randomized permutation of src.

| • integer | stride | – | How many list entries to keep next to each other during the randomization. |
Specification
When you want to randomize the position of every list element, specify a stride of 1.
If the stride is not a factor of the list length, the src list is returned. In other words, src.length() % stride must be 0.
Conceptually, the algorithm selects src.lengh()/stride buckets, and then for each bucket swaps it the contents with another bucket.
Caveats
Examples
list straws = ["long", "long", "long", "short"]; list shuffled = llListRandomize(straws, 1); llSay(0, llList2CSV(bar));
