Purpose

Allow a custom link text for links generated by the RandomPage macro

Description

This patch adds a second argument to the RandomPage macro. When RandomPage is generating a single link, this second argument sets the linktext of that generated link. This allows you to generate a random link without showing the target in the link text, for added surprise.

For example, writing: 

<<RandomPage(1,foo)>>

gives you a link like [[random|foo]] where random is some random page name.
