We only need to read the number of bytes required to store the value "max - 1" to generate a random number in the range [0, max). Before, there was an off-by-one error where an extra byte was read from the io.Reader for inputs like "256" (right at the boundary for a byte). There was a similar off-by-one error in the logic for clearing bits and thus for any input that was a power of 2, there was a 50% chance the read would continue to be retried as the mask failed to remove a bit. Fixes #18165.
