Fix DCE eliminating random operations by improving is_impure() (#151524) (#157981)

DCE was incorrectly eliminating unused random operations like torch.rand() that have global RNG side effects, causing inconsistent results between eager and compiled execution modes.

**Root cause**: Python random functions (torch.rand, torch.randn, etc.) don't have the _nondeterministic_seeded attribute, so node.is_impure() returns False, allowing DCE to eliminate them despite advancing global RNG state.

**Solution**: Enhanced is_impure() in torch/fx/node.py to recognize Python random functions and mark them as impure when they use global RNG, regardless of the impure_random parameter setting. This ensures consistency between eager and compiled execution even when config.fallback_random=False.

**Key features**:
- Handles comprehensive list of random functions: rand, randn, randint, randperm, rand_like, randn_like, randint_like, normal, poisson, bernoulli, multinomial
- Generator optimization: Only marks as impure when using global RNG (no generator or generator=None). Operations with explicit generators don't affect global state and can be optimized.
- Works with both impure_random=True and impure_random=False cases
- Cleaner architecture: addresses root cause rather than working around it

**Tests**: Enhanced test_impure_random to verify both FX tracing and AOT compilation codepaths, ensuring random operations are preserved and eager/compiled execution consistency is maintained.
