What type of PR is this?

/kind bug

What this PR does / why we need it:

Currently, the method used to generate random name was relying on math/rand. Switching that to crypto/rand provide more randomness and better behavior.

Though it is not that important to use cryptographically secure randomness, it is better to do that and avoid possible collisions.

Special notes for your reviewer:

Added a test to account for and validate possible duplicate of random name generation.

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?

switched to using `crypto/rand` instead of `math/rand` for generating random names using `envfunc.RandomName` handler.
